Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether or not the development would be compatible with its proposed location when assessed against the relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the user experience of the Public Right of Way

What decided it

The proposed camping pods, being small and simple structures in a well-screened woodland location with minimal landscape impact, satisfied Policy DMR1 of the Peak District National Park Development Management Policies 2019, and the modest increase in traffic on Riley Lane would not materially harm the user experience of the Public Right of Way.
