Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the removal of the lantern and the increased height of the windows on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the location within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The removal of the roof lantern and increased window height, in combination, have conserved and enhanced the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB compared with the approved scheme, outweighing the minor material consideration that the works were completed without prior approval.

Plan policies cited: Policy LS1, Policy LS2, Policy D1, Policy H1, Policy 12, Policy 23, Policy PD-P3, Policy PD-P11, Policy SCC-P1

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.

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.
