Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its design and siting and the loss of the original mullion-style bay windows, would detrimentally harm character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area, contrary to policy JP-P1 of the Greater Manchester Places for Everyone and policy RA1 of Bolton's Core Strategy.

From the council's decision notice.
