What the decision says ¶4

“Core Policy 1 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (WCS) establishes the settlement hierarchy”

Why this is cited

Site outside hierarchy settlements = plan conflict; conflict given very limited weight (Annex A(2)) and scheme allowed on S5(1)(j); location decided on route, not tier. In the register this counts as a case where the tier was used against the site.
