Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Eltham Green Conservation Area, and its effect on the significance of Nos 1 and 2 Eltham Green as locally listed buildings
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the Eltham Green Conservation Area and Nos 1 and 2 Eltham Green as non-designated heritage assets was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of providing two additional housing units.
The moderate public benefits of housing delivery and economic growth were outweighed by the less-than-substantial harm to the designated heritage asset (the conservation area) and harm to non-designated heritage assets (the locally listed buildings)
