Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for the proposed dwelling, bearing in mind development plan policies, the accessibility of the site, and the effect of the development on the landscape character of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
- The impact of the development on the integrity of the Fal and Helford Special Area of Conservation (the SAC)
What decided it
The existence of a lawfully commenced and still-capable-of-implementation planning permission for a dwelling on the site meant the proposal was an alternative design to an already-permitted development rather than new countryside development, removing the policy conflict.
