What decided it
Although the Council made a procedural error in not correctly applying the tilted balance, it was not certain that correction would have avoided the appeal, and the Council presented objective analysis on material planning policy grounds.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
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.
