What decided it
The applicant failed to demonstrate that the Council acted unreasonably or that the appeal would not have been necessary, as the Council assessed the proposal on its merits against applicable policies and made planning judgements that, while disagreed with by the Inspector, were not unreasonable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H7
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.
