Why it was refused
- The parcel locker, by virtue of its size, design and prominent siting, represents an overly dominant, incongruous, and visually intrusive form of development within the street scene, giving rise to detrimental visual harm to the character and appearance of the area in a manner contrary to policy HB1 of the Places and Policies Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
