Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would result in an ancillary dwelling for residential accommodation
- whether it preserves a Grade II listed building, Wright's Farmhouse, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether there is harm to the character and appearance of the wider area, with particular regard to the Peak District National Park
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate that it would preserve the Grade II listed building and its special architectural and historic interest, and the lack of detailed specifications and design clarity prevents confident determination of compliance with statutory duties and relevant policies.
