Tier label used

smaller settlements

The tier sentence ¶15

“within or adjoining smaller settlements”

Summary

Permission in principle for one dwelling on part of a field on the edge of Clicker, outside the Neighbourhood Plan development boundary. Dismissed. The scheme passed S5(1)(j) because Cornwall had a 3.9-year supply and the site was well related to the hamlet. But the Menheniot Neighbourhood Plan was made in April 2022, less than five years before the decision, and allocates sites to meet its identified requirement. S6 therefore applied, and the conflict with NP Policy 1 carried substantial weight that outweighed the benefit of one home.

Why this is cited

Policy 3 support for smaller settlements not met (not rounding off): against. In the register this counts as a case where the tier counted against the site.
