Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions would, due to their design, scale and massing, be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, and would impact detrimentally on the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring residents at no.16 Druids Close, contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, Policies CG4 and OA5 of Bolton's Core Strategy and the guidance contained within Supplementary Planning Document "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
