Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with regard to the Camborne Conservation Area and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings to the north, west and south
- Whether the proposal would satisfactorily deal with surface water drainage and address flooding concerns
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and World Heritage Site, combined with adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions and inadequate drainage arrangements, could not be outweighed by the public benefits of providing two residential units.
The public benefits of housing delivery and modest economic benefits were insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to the conservation area and World Heritage Site, and the adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions and drainage
