Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to private outdoor amenity space, configuration of internal living space, outlook, daylight, sunlight and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the Epping Forest Special Area for Conservation (SAC)
- whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on parking stress, highway infrastructure, sustainable modes of transport and climate change
- whether the proposed development makes appropriate provision for refuse/recycling storage and cycle parking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers (particularly regarding private outdoor amenity space and daylight/sunlight) and the absence of secured mitigation for the Epping Forest SAC, together with the lack of a mechanism to ensure car-free development, collectively outweighed the moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
