Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The provision made for energy efficiency, low carbon and renewable energy measures within the proposed development
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The unilateral undertaking securing financial contributions towards SAC mitigation removed the risk of an adverse effect on the integrity of the Epping Forest SAC, enabling overall compliance with the development plan.

minor conflict with Policy DM20 was outweighed by compliance with the other development plan policies, so the proposal accorded with the development plan taken as a whole and there were no material considerations to indicate a decision otherwise
