Bradford Bulls' plans to redevelop Odsal Stadium have been delayed by a public inquiry.

The plans for a 26,000-seater stadium had already been given the go-ahead by Bradford City Council at the end of last year.

But the council were required to refer the scheme to central Government who have now decided to investigate the proposals more closely.

The scheme also included retail and leisure facilities and would create up to 1,600 jobs.

The Bulls have been playing their first-team home matches at Bradford City Football Club's Valley Parade ground.
