Why it was refused
- By reason of its lack of reference to the existing regular plot pattern and the detailing of the existing building, its disruption of symmetry, forward projection and shallow roofline, the proposed extension does not respect or acknowledge the character and identity of the locality in terms of design, siting, size and detailing, does not result from a clear understanding of how the place has developed and cannot be considered to be a sympathetic addition to the property. It is therefore contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and Bolton Council's House Extensions SPD.
From the council's decision notice.
