The single objection to retaining the artwork said it “divides opinion and only serves to divide the community. It adds nothing to the cityscape”.
But planning officers said art would always divide opinion, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Approving the extension, officers said: “As stated in the previous officer report, as the sculpture is a piece of public artwork its design and appearance, like any form of art, is subjective with taste in art being a subjective matter.”
The tower was originally granted temporary permission because Hall Ings pocket park was to become a new gateway to Bradford Interchange.
But with the future of the station uncertain, the area will remain a green space for the foreseeable future.
