Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, affording special attention to the Hathersage Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development is required to achieve the conservation or enhancement of Hathersage as a settlement within the Peak District National Park
- whether the proposed business use takes up opportunities for enhancement in the context of its location within the National Park
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Hathersage Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, and the moderate public benefits do not outweigh the great weight that must be given to this harm.
