Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (EFSAC)
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would have an adverse effect on the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation due to inadequately secured mitigation contributions, which provides a strong reason for refusal under NPPF paragraph 11(d) that outweighs the limited housing delivery benefits.
The limited housing benefits of three additional dwellings were outweighed by the adverse effect on the integrity of the Epping Forest SAC, which provides a strong reason for refusal under the tilted balance in NPPF paragraph 11(d)
