A Bradford school has been given permission to install a timber open canopy.

The proposed works at Woodlands CE Primary School, in Oakenshaw will form a canopy extension to the front of the building.

A Bradford Council planning officer’s report said: “The site is partially screened from public view by the boundary wall and fence, which limit its visual impact.

“The canopy will not be of an excessive size and its position away from the highway and on an elevation facing away from the main public vantage points, helps to minimise the potential visual impact.”
