Authority: Cornwall Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: agricultural · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Davies N

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.

Framework references: 176, 84

Plan policies cited: Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 16, Policy 23, Policy 27, Policy MD9

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
