What decided it

The Council unreasonably maintained objections on parking and flood risk after its appeal statement and adopted an unsupported approach to the paragraph 11d)ii balance, causing the appellant unnecessary expense.

The Inspector weighed the Council's reasonable conduct on most issues against its unreasonable conduct on the paragraph 11d)ii balance, parking and flood risk, concluding that a partial rather than full award of costs was justified.
