AN Indian restaurant's plans to open a second venue on Ivegate as part of the Sunbridge Wells development have been approved by Bradford Council.
The International restaurant, based on Morley Street, will now be able to convert a vacant retail unit, previously used as a Toni and Guy hair salon, into a 60 seater restaurant.
The approved planning application will also see part of the empty unit turned into one of the entrances to the partially underground arcade of shops and bars.
Earlier this month Graham Hall, the developer behind the scheme, was granted licenses for the restaurant and six bars within the centre, including a gin bar, champagne and coffee bar and real ale pub.
On the application for the restaurant, planning officers said: "The shopfront and arcade frontage are well-detailed and will be an attractive feature to the ground level streetscape. The proposal would increase the active use of a prominently located building in a conservation area."
A spokesman for the restaurant has said they plan to keep the Morley Street restaurant open.
