What decided it

What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS17 of the Elmbridge Core Strategy 2011Policy DM2 of the Elmbridge Development Management Plan 2015
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.
