Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development plan would support the proposal in this location, having regard to the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, which the Framework requires be given great weight, outweighs the limited benefits of the scheme and cannot be mitigated by reserved matters details.
The limited benefits of housing supply, economic activity and sustainable construction were outweighed by the significant localised harm to the character and appearance of the AONB, which must be given great weight, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole.
