Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension would result in the loss of existing and potential off-street car parking provision and would lead to an increase in demand for on-street parking to the detriment of highway safety and is contrary to Policy P5.5 and Appendix 3 of Bolton's Core Strategy, Policies JP-C5 and JP-C8 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Supplementary Planning Documents 'Accessibility, Transport and Safety' and `House Extensions'.

From the council's decision notice.
