Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 594 and 596 High Road Leytonstone, with specific regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with specific regard to internal and external space
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and function
- the effect of the proposed development on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupant living conditions, and failure to secure necessary planning obligations for highway safety and SAC mitigation outweighed the benefit of providing three additional dwellings.
