Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development of the host property and character and appearance of the area including the likely long term effect on adjacent street trees
whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to waste storage and collection
the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The failure to secure planning obligations for car-free parking restrictions and the Epping Forest SAC mitigation measures, combined with unresolved concerns about potential harm to street trees, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole.
