Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding landscape, with reference to the Gooseham to Launcells Area of Great Landscape Value
the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The combination of unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Great Landscape Value and significant highway safety risks arising from poor visibility at the access on a bend, which could not be adequately resolved, outweighed the moderate economic and community benefits of the proposal.
