®Planning appeal decision
Anneth Lowen, Mabe Burnthouse, Penryn, TR10 9HZ
Planning appeal 3286595 at Anneth Lowen, Mabe Burnthouse, Penryn, TR10 9HZ (Cornwall Council) was dismissed on 4 April 2022 by Inspector Gethin T, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, with regard to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, access to services and facilities and development plan policies.
Change of use: We have 2 existing shepherd huts (portable huts on wheels) and 1 teepee tent (currently taken down and stored) on our land. We would like to apply for change of use to holiday lets. Each unit will accommodate 2 adults (max total overall 6). We have existing hard standing parking for three cars and existing direct hard standing access from the public highway. There are existing washing/toilet facilities connected to a septic tank
