Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The principle of the proposed development with specific regard to its location
  • Its effect on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the Cornwall and Tamar Valley National Landscape

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan's strategic approach to directing development to settlements and its failure to comply with Policy C1's requirement to maximise sustainable and active travel modes, which could not be overcome by the modest economic benefits or the enhancement to the immediate setting.
