Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupants, having particular regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space
the effect of the proposed development on pedestrian safety
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the Hoddesdon Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings

What decided it
