Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on heritage assets, with particular regard to the West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site and to the character and appearance of the Weir Quay Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed former smelting works and lime kiln
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the undeveloped coast
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets, particularly the World Heritage Site, Conservation Area, and listed buildings, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
