Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the Tavistock Conservation Area (TCA) and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS)
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with specific regard to privacy and outlook
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate drainage
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Tavistock Conservation Area and the World Heritage Site through the detrimental effect on a significant group of Victorian buildings, which could not be outweighed by any sufficiently compelling public benefit.
