Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to location, land use and amount of development proposed
Whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for new dwellings
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having 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 setting and significance of Heritage Assets

What decided it

The site qualifies as previously developed land immediately adjoining the settlement, making it an allowable form of development under LP Policy 3, and the existing building and domestic character of the site mean that a sympathetic design would not harm the AONB or heritage assets.
