Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the integrity of protected European sites, with particular regard to the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation
  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The absence of a completed planning obligation to secure the required financial contribution to mitigate impacts on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation meant the proposal conflicted with Policy DM2 of the development plan.
