Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to daylight, sunlight, overbearing or enclosure
- trees and green infrastructure
- the integrity of the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
What decided it
The shortfall in five-year housing land supply (4.22 years) rendered the development plan out-of-date, engaging the tilted balance under NPPF footnote 8, and the absence of any adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location.
The adverse impacts of granting permission would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of six additional dwellings in a sustainable location, assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole, and the scheme benefits from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
