What decided it
The Council's erroneous application of Policy DM10 as a reason for refusal, combined with its failure to provide substantive evidence to support the refusal, constituted unreasonable behaviour justifying a full costs award.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10
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.
