Tier label used

Key Service Centre

What the decision says ¶7

“which is designated as a Key Service Centre containing a range of facilities and services”

Why this is cited

Key Service Centre 500 m away acknowledged; unlit single-track lanes with no footway made occupiers "almost wholly dependent upon the car". In the register this counts as a case where the tier was noted but the location was decided on the actual route.
