Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, the setting of Duffield Bank Cottage and Duffield Bank House (which are Grade II Listed Buildings) and the setting of the group of non-designated heritage assets
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Duffield Bank Cottage
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm that is not outweighed by other considerations, and it causes unacceptable harm to heritage assets and neighbouring living conditions.
