Forest District Local Plan Submission Version ("LPSV"), which was
published on 18 December 2017 and the Main Modifications to the
LPSV published for consultation between 15 July and 23 September

REASON FOR
REFUSAL
|
1
|
The proposal would constitute
overdevelopment and intensification of this prominent site, causing
harm to the character of the area, contrary to policies CP2 and
DBE1 of the adopted Local Plan and Alterations, policies SP 2 and
DM 9 of the Submission Version Local Plan (2017), and the guidance
contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
|
|
2
|
Due to insufficient parking
associated with the development, the proposal would cause increased
parking stress in the area through the displacement of vehicles to
surrounding roads, contrary to policy ST6 of the adopted Local Plan
and Alterations, policy T 1 of the Submission Version Local Plan
(2017), and the guidance contained within the National Planning
Policy Framework.
|
|
3
|
The precedent set by the
proposal and combined impact from this development, along with
associated development and other nearby pending applications, would
increase the pressure on transport, parking and services within the
area and has not been adequately addressed, contrary to policies
CP2 and ST1 of the adopted Local Plan and Alterations, policies SP
2, T 1 and P 7 of the Submission Version Local Plan (2017), and the
guidance contained within the National Planning Policy
Framework.
|
|
4
|
In the absence of a completed
Section 106 planning obligation the proposed development fails to
mitigate against the adverse impact that it will have on the Epping
Forest Special Area for Conservation in terms of recreational
pressure and air pollution. Failure to secure such mitigation is
contrary to policies CP1 and CP6 of the adopted Local Plan 1998
& 2006, Policies DM2 and DM22 of the Local Plan Submission
Version 2017, Paragraph 180 of the NPPF 2021, and the requirements
of the Habitats Regulations 2017.

A) No work on any phase of the
development (with the exception of demolition works where this is
for the reason of making areas of the site available for site
investigation), shall commence until an assessment of the risks
posed by any contamination within that phase shall have been
submitted to and approved in writing by
the Local Planning Authority. This assessment must be undertaken by
a suitably qualified contaminated land practitioner, in accordance
with British Standard BS 10175: Investigation of Potentially
Contaminated Sites - Code of Practice and the Environment Agency's

proposed) including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland,

waters; ecological systems; and archaeological sites and ancient
monuments.
B) If following the risk
assessment unacceptable risks are identified from land affected by
contamination in that phase, no work on any phase of the
development shall take place, until a detailed land remediation
scheme has been completed. The scheme will be submitted to and
approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme
shall include an appraisal of remediation options, identification
of the preferred option(s), the proposed remediation objectives and
remediation criteria, and a description and programme of the works
to be undertaken including the verification plan. (The remediation
scheme shall be sufficiently detailed and thorough to ensure that
after remediation, as a minimum, land should not be capable of
being determined as contaminated land under Part IIA of the
Environmental
Protection Act 1990). The

REASON FOR REFUSAL
|
1
|
The proposal would result in an
overbearing and overly enclosed form of development which has a
detrimental visual impact, and which materially impacts upon the
outlook of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at 12
Victoria Road. Therefore, the proposal does not comply with policy
DBE9 of the adopted Local Plan and Alterations (1998 & 2006),
nor with policy DM 9 of the Local Plan Submission Version (2017).
The proposal is not in accordance with paragraph 130 of the
National Planning Policy Framework (2021).
|
|
2
|
The development proposal does
not relate positively to the locality and it does not achieve a
high specification of design. It is unsympathetic and
non-complementary to the distinctive style, detailing and
appearance of the existing property. As a result, the proposal is
contrary to policy DBE10 of the adopted Local Plan and Alterations
(1998 & 2006) and contrary to policies DM 9 and DM 10 of the
Local Plan Submission Version (2017). The proposal is not in
accordance with paragraph 124 of the National Planning Policy
Framework (2019).
