Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB), to the preservation or enhancement of the character or appearance of the Mevagissey Conservation Area (the Conservation Area) and to the setting of listed buildings
What decided it
The modest scale and limited visibility of the shed and decked area, combined with the retention of undeveloped land as a buffer, meant the scheme would preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of listed buildings and would not harm the AONB.
