Self build scheme set for approval in Cornwall

Plans for 14 new homes, seven of which would be self build, in the Tamar Valley area of outstanding natural beauty in Cornwall are set for approval after receiving a positive recommendation from planning officers.

The planners took an enlightened approach, feeling the degree of landscape harm would be slight – and that it would be outweighed by the social and economic benefits the development would bring to the village and the wider area of south-east Cornwall.
