Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension would, by virtue of its siting, impact detrimentally on the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring residents at 36 Normanby Drive and is contrary to Policy CG4 of Bolton's Core Strategy and the guidance contained within Supplementary Planning Document "House Extensions".

From the council's decision notice.
