Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Buryan Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and distinctive landscape qualities of the St Buryan Area of Great Landscape Value and the Penwith Heritage Coast
What decided it
The visual prominence and uncharacteristic nature of the shed in the front garden would cause minor but significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the distinctive landscape qualities of the AGLV and Heritage Coast, which could not be outweighed by the minimal public benefits identified.
