conversion of existing barns to form dwelling house and associated works

Authority: Cornwall Council

Inspector: Jones RE

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would constitute an acceptable conversion of a rural building taking into consideration development plan policies regarding the character and appearance of the area and the accessibility of services and facilities
the proposal's effect on the integrity of the Fal and Helford Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Penhale Dunes SAC

What decided it

The proposal would fail to enhance the building's setting, would be inaccessible to local services without reliance on private motor vehicles, and would harm the integrity of protected Habitats sites, with these significant harms outweighing the modest benefits of providing an additional dwelling.

Framework references: 11, 80, 174

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 22

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.
