Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Redruth Town Centre Conservation Area, and its effect upon the Outstanding Universal Value of the Camborne and Redruth Mining District section of the wider Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site
- the effect of the proposed parking arrangements on highway safety
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the very limited potential harm from the parking deficit and the neutral effect on heritage assets, meant that the benefits of the proposal were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by adverse impacts when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The support for housing development in the Framework, countered by the importance placed on highway safety, was balanced against the very limited potential harm from two displaced vehicles and the neutral effect on heritage significance; the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, and the development represented sustainable development.
