Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Peak District National Park
  • the effect of odours generated by the development on local tourism
  • whether the proposal accords with development plan policies relating to the location of employment development in the district

What decided it

The development would result in significant landscape character and visual harm to the setting of the National Park and conflicts with the Council's spatial strategy for rural areas, and there are no material considerations that outweigh this conflict with the development plan.
