A MAN building a house in Idle has been given permission to change the plans slightly to make the most of the site’s sunny location.

Bradford Area Planning Panel yesterday gave Martin Geldard permission to make the change at the site, in Highfield Road.

Mr Geldard said while planning permission had been in place for some years, he had only bought the site in the past year.

He said: “The original design had the porch at one side and the conservatory at the other, but I felt the quality of the dwelling would improve by swapping them.”
