Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front and rear dormers, combined with the proposed hip to gable roof extension, by reason of their design, scale, siting and bulk, would appear incongruous within the wider street scene and would be to the detriment of the character and appearance of the dwellinghouse, the semi-detached pair of dwellings and the surrounding area, contrary to policy RA1 of Bolton's Core Strategy, policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and the guidance contained within Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
