Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the preservation or enhancement of the Coverack Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and AONB caused by the excessive roof height and pitch would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of delivering a single dwelling.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and limited harm to the AONB's landscape and scenic beauty were weighed against the public benefits of one additional dwelling and limited economic benefits; the harm outweighed the benefits.
