Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, with particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS)
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area by extending built form into the countryside and suburbanising the rural landscape, contrary to the development plan, and the limited housing benefits could not outweigh this identified harm.
The harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan outweighed the limited benefits of three additional dwellings, construction employment, and use of local services, particularly given the surplus housing land supply in the area.
