Why it was refused
- The signage by virtue of its design, size and siting would appear as an incongruous addition to the application site and would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the building and wider area, contrary to Policy TC11 of Bolton's Core Strategy, Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and Supplementary Planning Document `General Design Principles'.
From the council's decision notice.
