The charity has several centres in and around Halifax already to help carry out its work.

The application has received a letter of objection raising concerns about a possible increase of traffic and worries about loss of privacy.

Numbered 23/01192/FUL, the change of use application can be viewed on the planning portal on Calderdale Council’s website.
