What the decision says ¶36

“Battle is one of the larger settlements in the district’s hierarchy”

Why this is cited

Location accepted on tier "as a matter of principle"; dismissed on other grounds. In the register this counts as a case where the tier was relied on for the scheme (and the tier was raised by a party without being adopted).
