Proposal for catering spot at village green

A village green could soon have a catering truck offering visitors food and drink.

A planning application has been submitted to Bradford Council to have a food truck at Oxenhope Millennium Green on Station Road.

The public park and recreation space opened in 2000 on reclaimed washland and is located within Oxenhope Station Road Conservation Area.

A decision on the application is expected in January, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The proposal to the authority, by applicant Rachel Coe, said: "The proposal introduces a small-scale, modern feature into the green.

"The introduction of a catering trailer will deliver a clear community facility, enhancing the social and economic vitality of Oxenhope, increasing local activity and visitor engagement with the Millennium Green and thereby outweighing any limited adverse impact.

"The applicants intend this to be a short-term measure to start their business. The long-term goal is to find premises within the village and have a cafe."
