Why it was refused

  1. The proposed external shutter, by reason of the shutter curtain design, would obscure the host shopfront, failing to maintain or improve its quality. It would further have a harmful impact on the character of the host building and local street scene. It is thereby contrary to the provisions of polices DQQ08 & DQP01 of the Leicester Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
