Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the location of the site within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook from Antigua
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area and would not conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB due to its prominent siting at the settlement edge, increased height and bulk, and failure to respect the natural tapering of ridge heights following the land contours.
