Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions, in terms of the 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 house and the surrounding area, contrary to Policies JP-P1 and OA5 of Bolton's Core Strategy and Supplementary Planning Document - "House Extensions".
  2. Insufficient information has been provided by the applicant with regards to how the proposed development would impact on existing trees, to enable the proposal to be properly judged against policy JP-G7 of Places for Everyone.

From the council's decision notice.
