Planning appeal 3283175 at Land North Of Tregunwith Wood, Tregunwith, Mylor Bridge, Cornwall, TR11 5SU (Cornwall Council) was dismissed on 26 April 2022 by Inspector Davies N, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the site is suitable for a dwelling, bearing in mind the settlement policies of the development plan and the accessibility of services, and whether there is a need for an agricultural worker that would outweigh any harm in these regards.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for a dwelling, bearing in mind the settlement policies of the development plan and the accessibility of services, and whether there is a need for an agricultural worker that would outweigh any harm in these regards
  • The effect of the development on the landscape character of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
  • The effect of the development on highway safety
  • The effect of the development on biodiversity, including the integrity of the Fal and Helford Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)

What decided it

The substantial harm to the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB, to which great weight must be given, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts, outweighed the economic benefits of the viable agricultural enterprise.
