Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be suitably located and would provide an appropriate mix of housing, in particular with respect to the loss of a larger family-sized dwelling
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The absence of any mechanism to secure mitigation of the proposal's adverse effects on the integrity of Epping Forest SAC, combined with the application of paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework which disapplies the tilted balance for sites of nature conservation importance.
The benefits of delivering two additional small dwellings and modest economic benefits were outweighed by the significant conflict with the development plan arising from the unmitigated harm to Epping Forest SAC.
