Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Cornwall National Landscape

What decided it

The undue harm to the character and appearance of the Cornwall National Landscape caused by the loss of the distinctive open green space, which outweighed the housing and other benefits of the scheme.

The limited to moderate weight attributed to housing delivery and other benefits did not outweigh the great weight given to the undue harm to the National Landscape and the related conflict with development plan policies
