Is there a rule against having someone collect a replacement, if yours
is
lost or needs renewing?

It's not really going to be covered by a "rule", more like a "procedure"
that is used for everyone.

The procedure "is what it is", and I think it unlikely that it will be
"someone collects it at a date/place different to the lodging of the
application" as that is not going to be convenient for many people.

For many people it will be convenient for someone else to collect a
replacement for a lost pass - saving them the trip

But not for everybody.

My point is that there doesn't need to be a second trip.

If the pass isn't issued over the counter during the first trip (at which
personal attendance is compulsory), it can (and IMHO should) be posted to
the intended recipient
