'A row between two Bradford Council departments threatens to scupper plans for a £15 million academy.


'The Council’s education department has submitted an application for a new 1,050 pupil school on land at Fenby Avenue, East Bowling, but its Highways Department said it had not listened to its advice and the plans are unsuitable....

'The comment from the highways office, which is consulted on all large-scale applications, says: “The Council should be able to accurately estimate the likely total number of employees including teachers and support staff so that an appropriate level of parking can be provided.”'


The academy will eventually be run by Bradford Diocese.
