Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would have a severe impact on the operation of Chywoone Hill
Whether there would be safe and suitable access to the site for all road users

What decided it

The traffic impact of 15-17 additional trips per peak hour and 7 seconds maximum journey time increase does not constitute a severe impact on the road network as required by NPPF paragraph 111 to justify refusal on highway grounds.

The significant benefits of providing 29 new affordable homes addressing Cornwall's housing crisis, combined with economic benefits and environmental sustainability, outweighed concerns about the distance from Newlyn centre and the incomplete footway, resulting in a conclusion that the development constitutes sustainable development.
