Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the significance of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS) would be conserved and the extent to which the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Camborne Conservation Area (CCA)
- whether future occupiers of the proposal would be likely to experience adequate living conditions in respect to daylight, outlook and external space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the World Heritage Site and Conservation Area, to which considerable importance and weight must be attached, was not outweighed by the small-scale public benefits of a single dwelling, and the heritage policies provided a strong reason for refusing the proposal under the tilted balance.
the small-scale public benefits from the provision of a single dwelling and housing need did not outweigh the considerable importance and weight given to the less than substantial harm to the significance of the World Heritage Site and Conservation Area
