A passageway in a conservation area can be gated to stop fly-tipping, planning officials have agreed.
A planning application had been submitted to Bradford Council to fit metal gates either side of the passage, which runs behind 132 Sunbridge Road.
The privately-owned alleyway is part of the Goitside Conservation Area, and links Grattan Road and Vincent Street.
It is used for bin storage for a 63-bed student flats building, but applicants Airedale House Management Company Ltd said it was regularly misused, with people dumping litter or fly-tipping around the bins.
