Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the site is suitable for residential development with regard to the spatial strategy and the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the setting of designated heritage assets namely the Charlestown Conservation Area, the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site and the Longstone Grade II* Scheduled Ancient Monument
- If harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations including the public benefits of the proposal
What decided it
The moderate harm to the setting of designated heritage assets of the highest significance was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposal, and the development conflicted with the spatial strategy by extending building into open countryside contrary to Policy 3 of the Local Plan.
