Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties having particular regard to 1 Elmores
  • the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area for Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposal would not result in a likely significant effect on the integrity of the Epping Forest SAC because it would not generate additional vehicle movements compared to the lawful use of the former garages, and would not adversely affect neighbouring living conditions.
