Strike Padel Planning Approval Featured in Telegraph & Argus

"The fastest-growing sport in the world" is coming to Bradford following planning approval for Strike Padel's new leisure facility at Beckside Business Park. Founded by Fahad Qureshi, Strike Padel received planning permission from Bradford Council to convert a unit into a five-court padel centre with 13 parking spaces. Planning officers noted that while the site is in an employment zone, the sports facility would create jobs and complement existing leisure businesses in the area. The approval marks a significant milestone as Strike Padel becomes Bradford's first dedicated padel centre, bringing the rapidly growing racquet sport—popularized by celebrities like David Beckham—to the heart of the city.
