Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the host property and character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to internal floor space
- whether the proposal would encourage sustainable modes of transport with particular regard to cycle storage provision
- the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The proposal failed to meet minimum internal space standards, lacked adequate cycle storage provision, and had no secured legal agreement for the required SAC mitigation contribution, with these combined deficiencies outweighing the modest housing supply benefits.
