What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy R10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 38Paragraph 39
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
