Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal upon the landscape and setting of the Epping Forest
Whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character and/or appearance of the Copped Hall Conservation Area, including the setting of the Ambresbury Banks Slight Univallate Hillfort

What decided it

The proposal would increase harm to the landscape setting of Epping Forest and fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and setting of the Scheduled Monument, with public benefits that do not clearly outweigh the less than substantial harm to heritage assets.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
