Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Aldersbrook and Lake House Conservation Area
- the living conditions of occupiers at 50 Aldersbrook Road, with particular regard to outlook
- the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Aldersbrook and Lake House Conservation Area, when weighed against the limited public benefits of the proposal, could not be justified under paragraph 202 of the Framework, and heritage asset protection policies provided a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d).
The limited benefits of one additional residential unit and small-scale economic benefits were outweighed by the great weight afforded to the conservation of the heritage asset, such that the harm to the conservation area could not be justified.
