What decided it
The Council's contradictory officer advice, while frustrating, did not constitute unreasonable behaviour warranting a costs award because the Council substantiated its reasons for refusal with reference to relevant local plan policies and the NPPF.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP01
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.
