Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for new dwellings with specific regard to the local development strategy and accessibility to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and Cornwall and West Devon World Heritage Site (WHS)
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Cornwall and West Devon World Heritage Site, to which great weight must be given, is not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
