A CITY centre bazaar in Bradford has been granted planning permission to expand due to its popularity.

The bazaar, in the former Rawson Market building, has proved a success since it opened early this summer, and owner Shabir Hussain had applied for planning permission to install a mezzanine floor to increase the number of stalls that can go there. Last week planning officers granted permission for the construction of a 300 square metre mezzanine.
