Plans have been submitted to turn a patch of disused land into a new street food venue – described as a “green oasis amidst a dense built area” – in Bradford.

The proposals would turn the triangular area at the junction of Thornton Road and Listerhills Road into a new venue named TriYard.

The stalls would serve a mix of cuisines from around the world and the space would also host regular food festivals and other outdoor events.

Developers Mi7 Projects Ltd said the venue would be a “cultural meeting point to celebrate the rich and diverse food offerings in Bradford”.

The development hopes to support local vendors who are struggling to find a place within the newly-reduced market place area, as well as providing a unique social space for students at the nearby university campus.

“Located within walking distance of the city centre, TriYard celebrates Bradford’s rich diversity in street food culture,” the developers said.
