The effect of the proposed development on protected habitats

What decided it

The proposal would represent an unacceptable encroachment into the countryside within the Cornwall National Landscape, conflicting with the development plan's settlement strategy and landscape protection policies, and this harm outweighs the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
