Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether in principle, this is a suitable location for new tourist accommodation, having regard to the development strategy for the area
- whether this is a suitable location for the proposed development with regard to flood risk
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
- whether the proposed development would conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the Peak District National Park
- the effect of the proposed development upon the Bamford Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The failure to apply the sequential test for flood risk, combined with less than substantial harm to the conservation area and unresolved highway safety concerns, outweighed the moderate public benefits of tourism and rural economic diversification.
