Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed development would create unacceptable harm to highway safety by intensifying use of a substandard access with poor visibility and narrow sections, contrary to Policy 27 of the Cornwall Local Plan and paragraphs 110, 111 and 112 of the Framework.
The benefits of delivering an additional dwelling in a sustainable location and associated economic and social benefits were outweighed by the unacceptable impact on highway safety, which paragraph 111 of the Framework makes a clear ground for refusal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 27 of the 2016 adopted Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 110Paragraph 111Paragraph 112
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
