Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed accommodation reflects local housing need
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply, combined with the demonstrated local need for 2 and 3 bed affordable dwellings and the proposal's contribution to addressing Cornwall's housing crisis, outweighed other considerations.
The benefits of housing delivery, including affordable housing provision and response to the housing crisis, outweighed the loss of a small area of Grade 3 agricultural land and alterations to historic field patterns.
