Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal building and the surrounding landscape
  • The effect of the proposal on European protected species and habitats, with specific regard to bats
  • Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for parking, with particular regard to the living conditions of the future occupants and highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of a non-designated heritage asset and the surrounding landscape of the Peak District National Park, and there is insufficient information to demonstrate that the development would not harm European protected species, with no material considerations outweighing these identified harms.
