BRADFORD’S former Irish Club will be turned into a Sikh Temple after Bradford Council approved plans for a large redevelopment of the building.
The club, on Rebecca Street, closed earlier this year, and over the summer the Shri Guru Ravidass Bhawan applied for permission to change the use of the building, extend it and build a number of decorative domes. They would also refurbish the building’s car park to provide 30 parking spaces.
The Sikh group, registered as a charity, have been based in a building on Brearton Street since the 1980s, but their application said they had outgrown the space in that property and were hoping to re-locate to this new site.
A planning officer’s report said: “Considering the poor quality of the existing building, the proposed development would significantly improve the appearance of this building and the street scene in general.”
