Authority: Cornwall Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: caravan-gypsy · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Cresswell C

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is a suitable location for the caravans, having particular regard to development plan policies which seek to control new housing in the countryside
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site is located in the open countryside outside settlement boundaries and does not meet the special circumstances required by Policy 7 of the Local Plan, making it an unsuitable location for residential development regardless of the acceptable visual impact.

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 23, Policy 24, Policy HT1, Policy C1, Policy T1

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

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.
