Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area including whether it would conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Cornwall National Landscape
What decided it
The appeal site's specific context within an established holiday accommodation complex, combined with the enclosure provided by Cornish hedgerows and mature vegetation, means the proposed twin unit caravan would not be unduly prominent or result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area or the natural beauty of the Cornwall National Landscape.
