Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to development plan policies which seek to control new housing in the countryside
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)

What decided it

The site qualifies as infill development under the development plan policies, filling a small gap between existing buildings without physically extending the settlement into open countryside, and the proposed dwelling would not appear dominant or conspicuous within its AONB setting.
