Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the setting of a Local Wildlife Site
  • the 'Other Open Space' designation of the appeal site

What decided it

The retention of the majority of the planted boundaries, which would preserve the character and appearance of the street scene and maintain the ecological buffer for the Local Wildlife Site, while allowing development that complies with the relevant development plan policies.

Although the proposal would conflict with the development plan when read as a whole, there were no sufficiently weighted material considerations, including the Framework, which would indicate a decision otherwise, and the appeal was allowed.

Plan policies cited: Policy PL6, Policy PL1, Policy H2, Policy PL9, Principle DG28 of the Harlow Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document
