Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the Pod on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the host property and on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Peak District National Park
What decided it
The Pod's incongruous timber construction with plastic windows and manufactured appearance, sited close to the traditional stone vernacular Barn, detracts from the landscape setting and scenic beauty of the Peak District National Park, and this harm cannot be mitigated by conditions or temporary permission.
