A Bradford-based dessert company has filed a retrospective planning request for a kerbside collection service, stating it serves only a limited customer base.
Wunder Crumble operates two locations throughout the city.
One facility functions as a restaurant on Great Horton Road, while the second property on Ingleby Street, designated as Belgravia House, serves as storage and distribution premises.
Since the end of the previous year, the Ingleby Street location has additionally operated as a kerbside collection point, where patrons drive to the building, collect food items, and depart to consume them elsewhere.
This expansion coincided with the enterprise staging a Winter Market and New Year’s Eve event near the premises, drawing approximately 3,000 visitors.
The company also provided a complimentary drive-through fan zone experience during the World Cup held during the summer months.
The enterprise has now lodged a retrospective planning submission seeking consent to retain the current sale of hot and cold food and beverage activity.
Approval would additionally authorise the continued use of external areas for temporary food and beverage stalls.
The planning documentation indicates that the operational changes were initially introduced in November 2025.
According to the submission, the principal function of the building will continue as storage and distribution, with only a minimal number of customers anticipated to visit the premises for kerbside collection purposes.
The application materials state that the core purpose of Belgravia House continues to be the storage and distribution of desserts.
The same commercial enterprise maintains a larger restaurant operation on Great Horton Road, with Belgravia House primarily serving as a supporting storage and distribution facility for that establishment.
The customer-facing component at Belgravia House has been intentionally restricted in scope and is not designed to function as a conventional dining establishment.
Occasional patrons may attend to collect dessert products.
The service operates primarily on a kerbside collection basis, whereby customers arrive, utilise surrounding parking facilities, and collect their orders without requiring entry to or prolonged occupation of the premises.
A modest number of tables and seating have been positioned within a designated section of the property.
These facilities are intended to offer customers a basic option rather than establish a traditional restaurant setting.
The extent of this customer-facing element remains supplementary to the primary storage, production and distribution operations of the premises.
The initiative is therefore not anticipated to produce the volume of customer activity, deliveries or traffic typically associated with an independent restaurant or takeaway operation.
The customer-facing component consists of sporadic kerbside collections, a limited seating area and intermittent orders through third-party delivery services.
The operation is not intended to function as a large-scale restaurant or takeaway from the premises.
The proposals indicate that trading hours would extend until 2am.
A determination on the planning request is anticipated during the coming month.
