Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: McDonagh C
Postcode: E4 8PT

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions to future occupiers of the property and resultant effects on living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties
The effect of the proposal on trees
Whether the proposal promotes sustainable travel options
Whether the proposal would provide a safe and suitable access for pedestrians and refuse collection
The effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan as a whole due to multiple significant harms to character and appearance, living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, trees, and lack of secured mitigation for the Epping Forest SAC, with modest benefits insufficient to outweigh these conflicts.
