Planning officers recommended that the application be approved, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

In their report to the committee they said:

"In terms of the benefits of the scheme, it is acknowledged that the scheme would increase the supply of specialist 'move-on' (rather than emergency) housing, which is an identified priority of the current housing shortage within Cornwall.

"The proposal has significant social and economic benefits by having purpose-built accommodation available, rather than the council using expensive and less suitable alternative accommodation as it does at present."
