Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with reference to the St Hilary Churchtown Conservation Area
- the suitability of the site for the proposal, having regard to the development plan's approach to the delivery of housing
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area's setting, combined with the site's location in open countryside outside the development plan's identified settlement boundaries, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan when read as a whole with no other considerations to outweigh this conflict.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 23Policy 24Policy 3Policy 21Policy 1Policy 2Policy 7
- National Planning Policy Framework
