Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal provides for a satisfactory environment for future occupants in respect of communal and private amenity space

- the impact on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on the living conditions of existing occupiers through loss of outlook and the failure to secure suitable mitigation for the Epping Forest SAC outweighed the housing supply benefits.
the benefits of housing supply and contribution to local housing delivery were insufficient to outweigh the harm to living conditions of existing occupiers and the failure to mitigate impacts on the Epping Forest SAC
