Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed siting, design and external appearance of the building on landscape character having regard to the special qualities of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
The effect of the proposed siting, design and external appearance of the building on the significance of the Grade I listed Church of St Germanus and Grade II* listed Chapel of St Michael

What decided it

The proposed siting would result in unjustified less than substantial harm to the significance of two designated heritage assets of exceptional value and harmful impact on the special qualities of the national landscape, which could not be outweighed by the private and modest public benefits of the agricultural storage use.

Framework references: 182, 205, 206, 208

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.
