Scheme description

Installation of InPost Parcel Locker at Land adjacent to Lime Tree Surgery, 321 High Road Leytonstone, Leytonstone, London, E11.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposal, given its prominent location, overall size and design, would incur visual harm to the openness, visual relief and greenery of the streetscape, and the wider setting of Langthorne Park, to the contrary of Policy D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy 53 of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).

Reason 2

Due to the lack of details related to security measures and design, the proposal fails to demonstrate a minimised risk of crime and anti social behaviour, to the contrary of Policy 58 of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).

Reason 3

The proposed locker, due to its positoning and general scale, it would introduce additional street clutter and obstruction of pedestrian movement, to the contrary of Policies 66 and 61 of the adopted Waltham Forest Local Plan LP1 (2024).
