What decided it
The Inspector found that even if the Council had acted reasonably, there was no guarantee planning permission would have been granted, so no unnecessary or wasted expense resulted.
the Council's unreasonable behaviour regarding the marketing period and failure to assess need was weighed against the likelihood that refusal would still have occurred, and this likelihood tipped the balance against an award of costs
