Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether adequate private amenity space would be provided and maintained for future and existing occupants
- the effect on living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining property
- the effect on highway safety
- the impact on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The proposal would appear as an incongruous and independent dwelling that would not be sympathetic to the established character of the area, combined with inadequate private amenity space and failure to secure mitigation for SAC impacts.
the limited contribution to housing supply and effective use of land did not outweigh the identified harms to character and appearance, private amenity space standards, and ecological mitigation requirements
