Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on character and appearance of the area; including whether or not it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Marazion Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Marazion Conservation Area by introducing an uncharacteristic roof form, and this less than substantial harm is not outweighed by any public benefits.

Framework references: 215

Plan policies cited: Policy C1 of the Climate Emergency Development Plan Document, Policy 12 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policy 13 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030, Policy 24 of the Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
