Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Peak District National Park
- The effect of the proposed development on nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The unacceptable harmful effects on the character and appearance of the National Park and the setting of listed buildings, combined with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the identified harm, rendered the proposal contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.
The marginal economic benefits of construction and increased tourism were outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the National Park and the less-than-substantial but nonetheless significant harm to the setting of listed heritage assets.
