Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing
  • the use of sustainable transport
  • the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
  • the highway during construction or servicing

What decided it

The proposal would harm the supply of family housing by subdividing a substantially extended large family home into smaller units, contrary to Policy 20 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan, and this conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any material considerations.

The proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole and there were no material considerations, including the Framework, that outweighed that conflict.

Plan policies cited: Policy 20A of the Part 1 Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024), Policy 20B of the Part 1 Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024), Policy 20 of the Part 1 Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024), Policy 94 of the Part 1 Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024), Policy T7 of the London Plan (2021), Policy 65 of the Part 1 Waltham Forest Local Plan (2024)
