Tier label used

Category 1 settlement

What the decision says ¶11

“The village is a Category 1 settlement, with a range of services and public transport connections”

Why this is cited

Category 1 acknowledged, but site outside the boundary and bus "very limited"; label did not carry the location. In the register this counts as a case where the tier was noted but the location was decided on the actual route.
