Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Cornwall National Landscape
- The effects of the proposed development on Trelissick Registered Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest and its setting
What decided it
The significant harm to the natural beauty of the Cornwall National Landscape and the less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets, particularly the grade II* Registered Park and Garden and grade II* listed Trelissick House, outweigh the public benefits of improved visitor facilities and parking provision.
