Why it was refused
- The siting of the Royal Mail parcel locker to the front of the convenience store at 742-744 Burnley Road constitutes operational development for the purposes of Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The development does not benefit from permitted development rights under Part 7, Class C of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), as it fails to comply with the limitations set out in Class C, and the procedural requirements of Class C.2 have not been complied with, in that no application for prior approval was submitted to or approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of development. As such, it is considered that the siting of the parcel locker requires planning permission and is accordingly unlawful. A Lawful Development Certificate cannot therefore be granted.
From the council's decision notice.
