Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the variation of the disputed condition would preserve the setting of Chatsworth House a Grade I listed building, and its effect on the significance of the Chatsworth House Registered Grade I Historic Park and Garden

What decided it
The public benefits of the proposed variation of the condition would not outweigh the harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the Grade I listed building and Grade I Historic Park and Garden), and the condition is necessary to encourage sustainable transport and reduce the need to travel.
