A ROMANIAN restaurant in Worcester is asking permission to put up a canopy over decking in its garden.

La Terasa in Friar Street is also asking the city council for retrospective planning approval for the decking itself, which it says was built by previous tenants.

In planning documents, it says the design of the canopy would be in keeping with the neighbouring Tudor House Museum and its historic garden.

It also says work would take place after 4pm, when the museum shuts, and finish by 7pm, so as not to disturb neighbours.
