Why it was refused
- The proposed development does not fall within one or more of the categories listed within Allocations Plan policy CG6AP, therefore the proposed development represents inappropriate development within Other Protected Open Land contrary to Allocations Plan policy CG6AP.
- The proposed development fails to conserve and enhance the character of the area in which it is set, contrary to Bolton's Core Strategy policy RA1 and Places for Everyone policies JP-P1 and JP-G1.
- Insufficient information has been provided by the applicant with regards to how trees within and adjacent the site have been impacted by the proposed development and what mitigation measures may be neccessary to safeguard the remaining trees within and adjacent the site. Notwithstanding this insufficient information, the development also fails to provide adequate replacement tree planting within the site or any other measures that would result in a net enhancement in the character and quality of the treescape, and biodiversity value, contrary to policy JP-G7 of Places for Everyone.
- Insufficient information has been provided by the applicant with regard to flood risk (no flood risk assessment has been submitted) to enable the proposal to be properly judged against policy JP-S4 of Places for Everyone and section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
