Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the development would be appropriate having regard to local planning policies on the location of housing
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the Watergate and Lanherne Area of Great Landscape Value (the AGLV)
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary and the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the AGLV through the reduction of the countryside gap between existing properties.
The modest social and economic benefits of a single dwelling do not outweigh the harm to landscape character and the conflict with development plan policies on settlement location.
