Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the surrounding Area of Great Landscape Value (the AGLV)
- the significance of the Scheduled Monuments comprising Restormel Castle: motte, bailey and shell keep, and Roman fort, annexes and temporary camp, 290m south-west of Restormel Farm; the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden known as Lanhydrock; the listed Battlefield relating to the Battle of Lostwithiel 21 August 1644; the Restormel medieval deer park; and the Lostwithiel Conservation Area; and whether it would preserve the setting of the Grade I listed Church of St Bartholomew
What decided it
The combined moderate adverse harm to the AGLV character and the less than substantial (but lower-end) harm to designated heritage assets, when considered together, outweighed the identified public benefits of the proposal.
