Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family housing in the Borough
- whether suitable living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the proposed development, with regard to the provision of internal and external amenity space
- the effect of the proposed on the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (EFSAC)
- whether the proposal would encourage sustainable modes of transport and the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to car parking and pedestrian safety
- whether the suitable cycle parking facilities would be provided for future occupants of the proposed development
What decided it
The proposal's conflicts with the development plan regarding loss of family housing, inadequate internal space standards, failure to secure EFSAC mitigation, and non-compliance with sustainable transport policies collectively outweighed the limited benefits of delivering a single dwelling.
