Why it was refused
- The proposed gate, by virtue of its siting, height, design and materials, appears as an incongruous feature within an otherwise open plan street scene, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area and contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone, Policy RA1 of Bolton's Core Strategy and the guidance within Supplementary Planning Document "House Extensions".
From the council's decision notice.
