Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the Ely Conservation Area
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, when weighed against the limited public benefits of two additional dwellings in an area with a demonstrated five-year housing land supply, was not outweighed by those benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing supply and economic benefits, given the special importance to be attached to preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of the conservation area.
