What the decision says (from the case file)

“narrow lanes, service village, station 3+ miles”

Why this is cited

Service village noted; remoteness would fail general housing; allowed only via HO12 flexibility for traveller sites. In the register this counts as a case where the tier was noted but the location was decided on the actual route.
