Tier label used

Primary Villages

The tier sentence ¶7

“in the Primary Villages identified in Core Policy 1”

Summary

Six small Class E units in the countryside near Glastonbury were allowed. The scheme complied with the local plan's rural-economy policies (CP3/CP4), and the inspector found a neutral effect on the settings of Glastonbury Tor and the Grade I church tower (DL ¶11, ¶23). The revised Framework is noted (DL ¶3), but the letter never tests the scheme against S5's outside-settlement list or E4.

Why this is cited

Rural-economy policy framework; commercial units; incidental. In the register this counts as a descriptive mention that played no part in the reasoning.
