BRADFORD Council has granted planning permission for a new playground canopy at Titus Salt School in Baildon.

The application is for a single storey, free standing canopy structure measuring eight metres by 16m on a flagged area towards the northern edge of the school.

The school is in the green belt but officers said it would not damage the surrounding area, and “would result in a much needed flexible outdoor space which would be beneficial for the students of the school”.
