Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 19 Weald Bridge Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would have a significantly harmful impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 19 in respect of outlook, conflicting with the development plan policies that protect neighbouring amenity.

The Framework's support for effective and efficient use of land and housing development did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan caused by significant harm to neighbouring living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy DBE9 of the Epping Forest Local Plan and its subsequent Alterations, Policy DM9 of the Epping Forest District Local Plan Submission Version

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.
