Why it was refused

  1. The proposed shopfront, by reason of its modern design and roller shutters, would appear unsympathetic and fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Hucknall Town Centre Conservation Area. The development would therefore be contrary to Policy EV10 of the Ashfield Local Plan Review 2002 and Parts 12 and 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
