Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of development accords with local and national policies that seek to locate new dwellings in proximity of existing settlements so as to minimise the need to travel by private vehicle
What decided it
The site is not located within or adjoining a settlement as defined by Policy 3 of the Cornwall Local Plan, and the limited benefits of the proposal are insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan's locational strategy.
The limited social, economic and environmental benefits of the proposal, restrained by the minor scale of the scheme, are insufficient to outweigh the conflict with the development plan and no considerations of sufficient materiality indicate the decision should be taken other than in accordance with the development plan.
Framework references: 80
