Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would conserve and enhance the landscape, character and scenic beauty of the Peak District National Park
  • whether the site is an appropriate location for the siting of a shepherd's hut, having regard to any relevant development plan policies on farm diversification

What decided it

The development's harmful impact on the landscape character and scenic beauty of the Peak District National Park, combined with its failure to meet the close proximity requirement of Policy DMR1 for shepherd's huts, means it conflicts with the development plan and material considerations do not justify approval.
