They were told that Bradford Council banning music performances is “counter-intuitive” while the district celebrates the city of culture.
Bradford Council had imposed a noise notification on David Trevor Wilkinson in January. It prevented him from playing the saxophone on Fourlands Drive, Idol.
Wilkinson appealed to abandon the notice, and his appeal came on Wednesday before Bradford and Kayley Magistrates Court.
The appeal was successful after the court heard that the council was not in a position to fight the case.
“We're a great fan of our team,” said Phil Morris, representing Wilkinson.
“He is a professional musician and has practiced bass saxophone at this property for many years.
“A dispute occurred last May and notification was provided on January 15th.”
When asked to explain the order, Morris said: “The Environmental Health Officer has decided by the Environmental Health Officer, following the complaints that Wilkinson could only practice for an hour and a half within five hours Monday through Friday.
“He later received a letter giving him a complete ban.
“It seems counterintuitive to think of Bradford celebrating a city of culture.”
Mr. Raja was in court representing Bradford Council on other matters. He told the magistrate that he had not noticed the appeal until minutes before it was heard.
He states:
“I don't have any documents and am not in a position to oppose this application.”
The magistrate supported the appeal and agreed to lift the noise removal notice.
