Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal accords with national and local planning policies and advice for new residential development within rural areas
  • The likely effects upon the Fal and Helford Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the West Cornwall Bryophytes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and whether any adverse effects could be addressed by way of the Unilateral Undertaking

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with national and local planning policies restricting new housing in the countryside because the site does not form part of a recognisable settlement and would intrude into open countryside, detracting from its character and appearance.
