What decided it
The Council's failure to provide sound, substantive and defensible reasons for departing from its own previous decision and a prior Inspector's findings on the same site, combined with the Inspector's own assessment that the height variations would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, constituted unreasonable behaviour justifying a full costs award.
