conversion of the redundant former agricultural building into two dwellings, the demolition of a lean-to extension and the installation of a septic tank

Authority: Cornwall Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: White J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be suitable for residential development, having regard to its location and whether or not it would constitute suitable conversion in accordance with the development plan

What decided it

The building would require such substantial rebuilding operations that it does not constitute a suitable conversion of a suitably constructed building appropriate to retain under Policy 7 of the Cornwall Local Plan, and the site's unsustainable location in open countryside away from services and facilities makes it unsuitable for residential development.

Framework references: 80, 60

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 7, Policy 21

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
