What the decision says ¶15

“The nearest settlement to the appeal site is Findon which is a service village”

Why this is cited

Service village expressly noted and set aside: unlit unpaved lane and A24 crossing = car reliance "irrespective of the precise distance" (¶17). In the register this counts as a case where the tier was noted but the location was decided on the actual route.
