About this application

This is a planning application for a porch at All Saints Ukrainian Church All Saints Street Bolton BL1 2BQ. Bolton has handled 5,984 applications of this type. This one was decided in 232 days, 25 weeks longer than Bolton's typical decision time. The site is in the St George's conservation area, with 3 listed buildings nearby. There have been 4 other applications at this address. In the past year there have been 145 applications across Queens Park & Central. We hold 1,099 applications in total for the BL1 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. Cumulatively, the harm caused by the unauthorised demolition of the vestry and the front boundary wall, when added to the harm caused to the significance of the Grade II Listed Building by the proposed inappropriately designed internal partitions, are not considered to be outweighed by the public benefits of the reuse of the building and therefore the proposed development is considered to be in conflict with Policy JP-P2 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and paragraphs 212 - 215 of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
