Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the supply of family sized housing in the Borough
- Whether the proposal would provide for satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance, light and outlook
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Wanstead Village Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of a larger family-sized dwelling in an area where the Council seeks to retain such properties and would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate private external amenity space, with these adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the limited benefits.
The benefits of providing an additional residential unit in a sustainable location and modest economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of loss of family-sized housing supply and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with the proposal therefore not constituting sustainable development.
