Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant behaved unreasonably in bringing or pursuing the appeals, or specific grounds of appeal, thereby causing the Council to incur unnecessary or wasted expense in the appeal process
What decided it
The appellant's evidence on grounds (a), (b), (d) and (g) was inadequate to support those grounds, and the LDC appeal in Appeal B had no realistic prospect of success from the outset, both amounting to unreasonable behaviour causing the Council unnecessary expense.
the substantial weight to Green Belt harm and potentially great weight to heritage setting harm were never realistically capable of being clearly outweighed by only limited weight attached to unsubstantiated economic benefits and BNG, undermining the appellant's ground (a) case
