Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether it has been demonstrated that there is an essential need for an additional permanent dwelling to accommodate a rural worker
- the effect of the proposal on the Cornwall National Landscape (NL)
- whether the proposal would provide sufficient carbon reduction measures
What decided it
The harm to the Cornwall National Landscape provided a clear reason for refusal under Footnote 7 of the Framework, disapplying the presumption in favour of sustainable development despite the housing land supply shortfall.
the housing land supply shortfall engaged the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d), but the identified harm to the National Landscape provided a clear reason for refusal under Footnote 7, meaning the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development and no material considerations indicated a decision other than in accordance with the development plan
