A BRADFORD hairdresser must pull down his porch and pay £900 in court costs after admitting being in breach of a planning enforcement notice to remove it.
Speaking through an interpreter, Shaukat Ali, 55, of Bullroyd Drive, Bradford, pleaded guilty at Keighley and Bradford Magistrates’ Court on Friday to failing to remove the unauthorised porch extension he had built at a property in Lytton Road, Bradford, in 2011.
Magistrates were told the notice was first issued in December 2013 after two retrospective planning applications were refused earlier that year.
They acknowledged he had agreed to take the porch down and remove the materials which would be at considerable cost and gave him a conditional discharge for two years.
They also ordered Shah pay a surcharge of £10.
