Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside, the Tregonning and Gwinear Mining District World Heritage Site (WHS) and the setting of the Breage Conservation Area (BCA)

What decided it

The proposed building's disproportionate size relative to the field it would serve, combined with its visual prominence and material harm to the character and appearance of the World Heritage Site and Conservation Area setting, could not be justified by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
