An appeal has been lodged against Bradford council's refusal of planning permission for a conservatory at Riddlesden.

Planners claimed the proposed conservatory - at Ryding Gate Barn, Ilkley Road - would be out of character with the main building which is in a Special Landscape Area.

The appeal will be decided by a government inspector on the basis of written statements and a site visit.

Any comments already made following the original application will be forwarded to the Department of the Environment for consideration by the inspector.

Anyone else wishing to make their views known - or wanting to modify earlier comments - should write to the DoE, Room 10/13, Tollgate House, Houlton Street, Bristol BS2 9DJ, by April 13, quoting the reference number APP/W4705/A/99/1018536.
