Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Boscaswell Conservation Area, the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, the Cornwall National Landscape and Heritage Coast
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate vehicular parking arrangements

What decided it

The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and World Heritage Site, combined with inadequate parking provision, outweighed the limited benefits of providing two new dwellings.
