Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the supply of family housing
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants of Flat 3 in regard to internal floor space
- the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
- the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The proposal failed to comply with multiple development plan policies, particularly the loss of family housing contrary to Policy 20, inadequate living space for Flat 3 contrary to Policy D6, absence of car-free obligation contrary to Policy 66, and failure to secure the SAC mitigation contribution required by Policy 94.
