Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to Local and National Planning Policy, and to its effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area with particular regard to the landscape and scenic beauty of the Cornwall National Landscape
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.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.
