Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the setting of the St Hilary Churchtown Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Conservation Area from development within its setting, to which great weight must be attributed, substantially outweighs the moderate benefits of providing one self-build dwelling and associated economic benefits.

The benefits of the proposal in terms of the provision of an additional self-build dwelling and associated economic benefits from construction and occupation, whilst having moderate weight in favour of the appeal, are substantially outweighed by the harm to the significance of the Conservation Area from development within its setting.
