Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The suitability of the site for the proposal, having regard to local and national policy for the location of housing, with reference to the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The extent of structural work required would constitute new build rather than conversion of an appropriate building, and the resulting residential character would harm the character and appearance of the AONB contrary to Policy 7 of the Cornwall Local Plan and paragraph 176 of the NPPF.
