Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition No. 5 is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the Old Barn as a non-designated heritage asset within the Peak District National Park
What decided it
The significance of the Old Barn as a non-designated heritage asset derives from its traditional agricultural appearance, which would be vulnerable to harm from permitted development such as extensions and ancillary buildings, justifying retention of controls over these matters but not over satellite antenna or boundary treatment.
