Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the integrity of the habitats site
- the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to landscaping
- the mix of housing in the district
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would adversely affect the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation and the necessary mitigation could not be secured with certainty.
The benefits of housing delivery and contribution to housing supply did not outweigh the concerns regarding adverse effects on the habitats site's integrity.
