Authority: Cornwall Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Hearing
Development: leisure-sport · Other minor developments
Inspector: Han U

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development is of an appropriate scale to its location, having particular regard to its effect on the surrounding area including an Area of Great Landscape Value (the AGLV)
whether the proposed development constitutes sustainable development, having particular regard to its accessibility by a range of transport modes

What decided it

The Inspector's conclusion that the redevelopment was of an appropriate scale with no significant harmful landscape/visual effect on the AGLV and was accessible by a reasonable range of sustainable transport modes, meaning the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.

the proposal accords with the development plan taken as a whole, and even if less than substantial harm to a listed building's setting were found, the considerable public benefits (economic, social and environmental) would outweigh any minor/moderate harm to non-designated heritage assets
