Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the development would prejudice any future development on neighbouring sites
- whether the proposed arrangements for refuse storage and collection would be acceptable
- the development's effects on car parking in the area
What decided it
The development's accordance with the development plan as a whole, particularly WFLP Policies 4 and 12 supporting housing development in the Chingford Mount Strategic Location, combined with the provision of better quality housing than currently exists at the site, outweighed the minor conflicts with Policy 66 and London Plan Policy D6.
