Plans to replace conservatory at property in Bolton

The plans, submitted to Bolton Council, propose replacing the conservatory on Chorley New Road in Lostock with a part single-storey and part two-storey side extension.

The works include extending the existing garage, making roof alterations, and creating first-floor storage space above the garage.

Two new roof lights are also proposed as part of the development.

According to the planning application, all external materials would be chosen to match the existing house, including brickwork, roof tiles and white uPVC window and door frames.

The proposals would not impact parking arrangements, nor would they require access changes from the public highway.

No trees or hedges would need to be removed or pruned to carry out the proposed works.

The extension would not be subject to the 10 per cent biodiversity net gain requirement under current planning rules, as it qualifies as a householder application.

Bolton Council has consulted neighbours at nearby properties on Chorley New Road and Lostock Park Drive, with public comments invited until early August.

No objections or public comments have been recorded on the application so far.

A decision from the council is expected in the coming weeks.
