Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building that is the subject of this appeal is curtilage listed
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed holiday accommodation, having particular regard to national and local planning policies for housing within the countryside
- The likely effect upon the significance of various designated heritage assets
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area, including the Tamar Valley National Landscape
- The likely effect upon nature conservation interests within the SAC and SPA
What decided it
The absence of a completed planning obligation under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to secure mitigation for recreational impacts on the SAC and SPA meant the proposal would adversely affect nature conservation interests, conflicting with development plan policies DEV26 and E2.
