Tier label used

smaller village

What the decision says ¶20

“Braceborough is identified as a ‘smaller village’ within the LP Policy SP2 settlement hierarchy”

Why this is cited

Tier treated as making the site "a sustainable location where small infill is supported in principle" with no route analysis; dismissed on other grounds. In the register this counts as a case where the tier was treated as the sustainability finding with no route analysis, the shorthand this piece is about.
