What decided it
The Council substantiated its reasons for refusal and exercised reasonable planning judgement in balancing harm to the World Heritage Site and living conditions against the benefits of affordable housing, therefore no unreasonable behaviour justifying a costs award was demonstrated.

- 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.
