Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The site falls outside the clearly defined boundary of built form and does not meet the criteria for rounding off or infill development under Policy 3(3) of the Cornwall Local Plan, as it would visually extend built form onto a site that appears and functions outside the settlement, with an urbanising effect that would undermine the verdant and semi-rural character of the area.
