What decided it

The Council's behaviour in refusing the application, while differing from the Inspector's view on some individual matters, was not unreasonable having regard to the guidance on costs and the cumulative weight of the Council's concerns.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy T1 of the Rushden Neighbourhood Plan
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 111

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.
