Planning committee

Decided by Peak District Planning Committee on 16 Jan 2026. Earlier deferred on 7 Nov 2025.

Approved

  • Officers advised refusal because the extension would harm the barn’s historic character and the Conservation Area, without public benefit outweighing that harm.
  • The parish council and one supporter backed the proposal, while the agent addressed the proposed fenestration.
  • The committee rejected refusal and approved the application, subject to redesigned fenestration and delegated agreement with officers.

Site constraints 5

Peak District National Park
The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
Radon affected area, class 6
An estimated 30% or more of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

Also on the record
Conservation area about 72 m away: Youlgrave; Inside the Youlgreave built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 17 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
