Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the access is suitable for the development
  • The effect of the proposal on the Fal and Helford Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Penhale Dunes SAC

What decided it

The landscape harm from the proposed mobile home, combined with the unresolved gypsy and traveller status of the appellant's daughter, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.

the harm to landscape character together with the unestablished gypsy/traveller status of the appellant's daughter outweighed the moderate weight given to the low-impact living benefits, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole that was not outweighed by any material considerations
