The sun room that was built withoput planning permission COUNCILLORS have gone against the recommendation of officers and approved plans for an extension to a nine bedroom house. In September Bradford Council received a retrospective planning application for a first floor extension – in the form of a sunroom, at 4 Farcliffe Road. At a meeting on Thursday, planning officers had advised members of the Bradford District Planning Panel to refuse the application, saying the design of the extension was “harmful” to the building’s appearance. A report to members said: “The design and overall appearance of the extension does not complement or enhance the character and appearance of the host dwelling and given the prominent sitting on the dwelling, is considered an over dominant and incongruous structure to the detriment of visual amenity.”
