Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the Cornwall National Landscape

applying Policy S5 of the Framework, the moderate benefits would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects to the character and appearance of the area including the National Landscape, where substantial weight must be placed on conserving and enhancing natural beauty under Policy N4.
