Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to local and national planning policies on the location of new housing, and also its affect on the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
What decided it
The proposal would extend built development into the open countryside outside the established settlement boundary and would cause harm to the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB, contrary to the spatial strategy of the development plan and national policy, with insufficient countervailing benefits.
The small economic and housing benefits were outweighed by the harm to the AONB landscape, openness and scenic beauty, and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy
