Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the development plan would support the proposal in this location
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the location within the Heritage Coast
  • the effect of the development on heritage assets, in particular on the Outstanding Universal Value of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site

What decided it

The harm to the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage Site, combined with conflicts with the development plan's locational strategy and harm to character and appearance, was not outweighed by the reasonably modest public benefits of the proposal.
