Planning appeal 3363131 at The Moon Inn, High Street, Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire, S32 4TL (Peak District) was dismissed on 2 September 2025 by Inspector Spataru A, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building the Moon Inn, a non-designated heritage asset, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stoney Middleton Conservation Area.
‘this application is for replacement windows to the front elevation to the pub, the side and rear windows have been in place for over 9 years so they will stay as is. We wish to replace the existing windows with high quality composite sliding sash windows coloured cream, because of their size difference the upstairs windows will be split one third top sash two third lower sash with 6 panes. The lower floor windows will be split half and half with 8 panes, all to match original style.’
