Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the site for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan's approach to the supply of housing, with reference to the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully visually extend building into the open countryside contrary to Policy 3 of the Cornwall Local Plan, as the site lacks a clearly defined physical barrier on its southeast boundary and would remove its function as a landscape buffer between the estate and the rural Public Right of Way.
Plan policies cited: Policy 2 CLP, Policy 3 CLP, Policy 7 CLP, Policy 12 CLP, Policy 23 CLP, Policy 27 CLP, Policy 10 St Agnes Neighbourhood Development Plan
