Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the local planning authority acted unreasonably in failing to determine the application within the statutory period and in its procedural handling of the application, thereby causing unnecessary or wasted expense to the applicant
What decided it
Although procedural unreasonableness was established, the applicant failed to demonstrate that this resulted in unnecessary or wasted expense in the appeal process, as the appeal was dismissed on substantive grounds and there was no certainty that earlier provision of information would have changed the outcome.
