Planning appeal decision
Little Sticks, Duloe Road, Dobwalls, PL14 4LT
Planning appeal 3279221 at Little Sticks, Duloe Road, Dobwalls, PL14 4LT (Cornwall Council) was allowed on 22 February 2023 by Inspector Fagan N, following a hearing. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the development complies with DPD Policy AL1, whether it complies with Policies 1, 2, 7, 23 and 27 of the adopted Cornwall Local Plan (2016) and with the development plan as a whole, as well as paragraphs 80 and 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development complies with DPD Policy AL1, whether it complies with Policies 1, 2, 7, 23 and 27 of the adopted Cornwall Local Plan (2016) and with the development plan as a whole, as well as paragraphs 80 and 174 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
- If not, whether material considerations – including any possible compliance with DPD Policy AL1 – indicate planning permission should nonetheless be granted
What decided it
The development's demonstrated compliance with emerging DPD Policy AL1 as a genuine example of low-impact, sustainable One Planet Development outweighed its conflict with the development plan as a whole.
