An unauthorised car repair garage which has operated for more than nine years has been refused retrospective permission after an objection from a concerned 11-year-old child.

The garage on Chapel Street, off Little Horton Lane in Bradford, has been operating since at least 2016, but an application to make the business official was only submitted earlier this year.

At a planning meeting, Bradford Council heard an objection from the child, who said cars regularly parked on the pavement near the garage, forcing people to walk in the road.
