Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, Essex House, the setting of the nearby listed buildings and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chipping Ongar Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed rooflights would have minimal visibility from the public realm and would not harm the significance of the heritage assets or the living conditions of neighbours, thereby complying with the relevant development plan policies and NPPF.
Framework references: 54
