Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining property, 43 Wellfields
What decided it
The extensions would not be disproportionate to the plot size or result in overdevelopment, would complement the host dwelling's design, and would not cause significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overshadowing, loss of light, overbearing impact or overlooking.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM9 of the Epping Forest District Local Plan (2023)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
