Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable for the proposed use, bearing in mind the policies of the development plan
The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with development plan policies requiring employment development to be located to reduce the need to travel by private vehicle, which together outweighed the acceptable highway safety position.

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 5, Policy 7, Policy 23, Policy 27, Employment Policy 4, Landscape Policies 1 and 2, Policy T1, Policy C1, St Enoder Parish Neighbourhood Plan: 2018-2030, Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010 – 2030, Climate Emergency Development Plan Document (February 2023)

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.
