Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposal would be likely to have a significant adverse effect, alone or in combination, on the Epping Forest Special Area for Conservation or, if necessary, provide satisfactory mitigation
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with development plan policies protecting an internationally significant habitat site and safeguarding character, appearance and neighbouring living conditions, and does not benefit from the tilted balance because habitat protection policies apply.
the modest contribution to housing supply was outweighed by conflicts with development plan policies protecting the Epping Forest SAC and safeguarding character, appearance and neighbouring living conditions, with the tilted balance not applying due to habitat protection policies
