Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development
What decided it
The proposal would introduce a dwelling that visibly extends into open countryside beyond the line of existing houses, causing harm to the character and appearance of the area and the Cornwall National Landscape, which engages the Framework's strong protections and displaces the presumption in favour of sustainable development despite the housing land supply deficit.
The modest benefits of housing supply contribution do not outweigh the conflict with the development plan and the harm to the Cornwall National Landscape, which engages Framework protections for areas of particular importance.
