Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development provides appropriate mitigation for the effect upon Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
What decided it
The failure to secure adequate mitigation for effects on Epping Forest SAC through a formal planning obligation, combined with the significant harm to character and appearance that would outweigh the benefits of the proposal.
The moderate benefits of providing one additional one-bedroom unit and economic benefits during construction and occupation were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance of the area, and the failure to secure mitigation for the SAC.
