Planning committee

Decided by Salford Planning and Transportation Regulatory Panel on 11 Jun 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the bakery would improve the building and would not cause unacceptable amenity or highway harm, subject to conditions.
  • Eight objections raised concerns about privacy, disturbance, fumes, commercial intensity, parking and highway safety; one person supported the principle.
  • The committee granted permission, amending the opening-hours condition to cover all operations and deliveries.
