Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
- Highway safety with regard to parking provision
- The Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation, with particular regard to any mitigation measures required
What decided it
The absence of a legal agreement to secure mitigation measures necessary to prevent harm to the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation meant the development could not proceed despite its acceptable design and other planning merits.
