Planning appeal 3308449 at Penhellick Barn, Access To Penhellick Farm, St. Columb, TR9 6DZ (Cornwall Council) was dismissed on 26 May 2023 by Inspector Harrington S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the location of the development accords with policies that seek to promote tourism development in locations that minimise a dependency on private vehicle.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the development accords with policies that seek to promote tourism development in locations that minimise a dependency on private vehicle
  • the effects on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effects on the River Camel Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The location of the development in open countryside remote from services and facilities, with poor accessibility by sustainable transport modes, conflicts with development plan policies promoting sustainable tourism development and cannot be justified by the modest benefits of the scheme.
