Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed houses is appropriate given Development Plan policies
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with the settlement hierarchy and infill/rounding off policies of the development plan, and would cause significant harm to the rural character of an Area of Great Landscape Value, which substantially outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.
The moderate benefits from housing delivery and economic activity were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to rural character and conflict with development plan policies, requiring determination in accordance with the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 23, saved policy ENV 1 of the North Cornwall Local Plan
