Why it was refused
- The proposed roof alterations and flat roofed two storey rear extension would, by reason of their design and scale, be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and would cause undue harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Policy OA4 of Bolton's Core Strategy and Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".
From the council's decision notice.
