Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the lockers would provide a permanent, secure and practical replacement for unsightly bins.
  • A collective objection raised highway, pedestrian safety and amenity concerns; the neighbourhood council later withdrew its objection.

Checked on 14 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
