Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed conversion of the barn to holiday accommodation would be acceptable, having particular regard to the provisions of the development plan, and the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the Peak District National Park

What decided it

The proposed hard-surfaced parking area, pinfold enclosure, and access road would introduce domestic paraphernalia and vehicle activity that would erode the intrinsic character of the rural landscape and constitute unwarranted urban encroachment in a National Park, conflicting with the requirement to give great weight to conserving landscape and scenic beauty.
