Why it was refused
- The cumulative impact of the design of the first-floor rear extension and full width rear dormer would result in an overly dominant and incongruous addition to dwelling which would be prominently visible from the street and would detrimentally harm the appearance of the dwelling and character of the area contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Policy RA1 of Bolton's Core Strategy and Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".
From the council's decision notice.
