Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Falmouth CA
- the effect of the proposed development on designated nature conservation sites
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's sensitive, high-quality design, careful siting with extensive screening and soft landscaping, and continuity with existing built form would preserve the character and appearance of the Falmouth Conservation Area and its significance as a heritage asset, and a planning condition would adequately mitigate effects on the Fal and Helford SAC.
