Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey rear extension, by reason of its design, scale, bulk and siting, would be a disproportionate and incongruous addition to the dwellinghouse and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the dwellinghouse and the street scene, contrary to policies RA2 of Bolton's Core Strategy and JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and the guidance contained within Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
