Why it was refused

  1. The proposed single storey front extension, by reason of its design, scale, and siting, would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the street scene, contrary to policy RA1 of Bolton's Core Strategy, policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and the guidance within Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
