“support of local services and”

Summary

The proposal replaced a villa-scale office building in Newquay with a larger contemporary block of offices and 9 flats. The appeal was dismissed. The inspector accepted the design worked from St Michaels Road but found it bulky and incongruous from the Ennors Road terrace, and harmful to neighbours' outlook and daylight. The site was within a settlement, so S4 applied. The council had no five-year supply, and housing, business and town-centre benefits each got substantial weight. The inspector still found them substantially outweighed, because DP3 and L2(1)(d) were failed.
