What decided it
Although the Council acted unreasonably in failing to substantiate what additional technical details would be required for the highways conditions, the conditions were necessary and did not prevent the applicant from commencing work, so no unnecessary or wasted expense was incurred.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PNP1c of the Paignton Neighbourhood Plan to 2030
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.
