What decided it
The Council's assessment involved a judgment on whether the proposed building would preserve openness under paragraph 149(b), which was not so clearly determinable that the development should obviously have been permitted, and therefore the Council's refusal did not constitute unreasonable behaviour warranting a costs award.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
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.
