Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing building, having regard also to its conservation area location, and also the effect on the openness of the Peak District National Park within which it falls
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the existing non-designated heritage asset building and its conservation area location, combined with the failure to conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the Peak District National Park, outweighed the appellant's family needs and reference to previous approvals.
The substantial weight attached to harm to the National Park landscape, the building's traditional character, and the conservation area was not outweighed by any public benefits or the appellant's personal circumstances.
