Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Sawbridgeworth Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 33 The Forebury, 21 Knight Street and The Coach House, with particular regard to privacy
- the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area through sensitive design and materials, and would not cause harmful loss of privacy to neighbours or provide unacceptable living conditions to future occupiers when appropriate conditions controlling window glazing and openings are imposed.
