Why it was refused

  1. The unauthorised fence at the front, side and rear of the dwelling, by reason of its design, height and siting, is detrimental to the character and appearance of the area as it appears incongruous in an area which maintains low red brick boundary features. It does not respect and acknowledge the character and identity of the locality in terms of design, siting, size, scale and materials used, does not reflect local character and is not well-integrated into the place. It is therefore contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Policy RA1 of Bolton's Core Strategy and the House Extensions SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
