What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Dacorum Borough Core Strategy 2006-2031 (2013)Dacorum Borough Local Plan 1991-2011 (2004)
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.
