Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an essential need for a permanent agricultural workers dwelling on the appeal site, having regard to policies which seek to restrict development in the countryside
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the countryside location of the appeal site within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the Cornwall AONB)
What decided it
The absence of a demonstrated essential need for a permanent agricultural workers dwelling at the appeal site.
Compliance with other development requirements (design, neighbour amenity, highway safety, drainage, biodiversity) did not justify or outweigh the harm arising from the unsuitable, unjustified location of the dwelling in the countryside and AONB.
