Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the effect on the Tavistock Conservation Area, Grade II listed Railway Viaduct and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site
- the effect of the proposal on trees within the site
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the appeal proposal with regard to the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Bannawell Street and Madge Court with particular regard to outlook and overlooking
- whether the proposal demonstrates suitable carbon reduction benefits
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed Viaduct, with very limited public benefits that do not outweigh this harm, and would also cause harmful impacts on trees on the site.
