Why it was refused
- The proposed InPost parcel locker would be considered as unacceptable in terms of size, scale and mass. The overall footprint, particularly the length of the front elevation being 8m, would be excessive in size. The proposed InPost parcel locker would appear overbearing and incongruous in the context of the street scene. Therefore, the proposed development would fail to comply with Policy DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) of the Island Plan Core Strategy, and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
