Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area for Conservation (SAC)
- the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety
What decided it
The absence of a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the proposal's acceptability on all main issues (SAC mitigation, character and appearance, and highway safety) meant there was no clear reason for refusal under the Framework's protective policies.
The benefits of residential development in the context of housing land supply shortfall were not outweighed by any adverse impacts, as the proposal was acceptable in terms of SAC mitigation, character and appearance, and highway safety.
