Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of nearby properties, particularly with regard to any overbearing impact at 22-26 Gravel Lane, and those of future occupiers of the proposed development, particularly those of Unit 1 with regard to layout and overshadowing
- the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Epping Forest SAC
What decided it
The unacceptable overbearing impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at 22-26 Gravel Lane, which could not be adequately mitigated despite the appellant's proposed design measures.
The benefits of efficient use of land did not outweigh the significant harm identified in relation to overbearing impacts on neighbouring living conditions and potential impacts on the integrity of the Epping Forest SAC.
