Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension would, by virtue of its height, size and siting, impact detrimentally on the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring residents at 12 Ingleby Close and is contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Policy CG4 of Bolton's Core Strategy and Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
