What decided it
The Local Planning Authority applied its own judgment to relevant policies and provided sufficient evidence to support its objections, and therefore did not behave unreasonably despite the Inspector reaching different conclusions on the merits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 3, Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030Policy 1, St Mewan Parish Neighbourhood PlanPolicy 2, St Mewan Parish Neighbourhood Plan
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.
