Tier label used

Tier 6

The tier sentence ¶8

“as within Tier 6 of the Settlement Hierarchy”

Summary

One self-build house on garden land beyond Brookville's development boundary in Norfolk. The self-build element could not be secured, so S5(1)(j) was not available, and houses on one side only meant it was not infill under S5(1)(e). The location fails on access to services: the nearest café is along an unlit road with no pavement, and the shop and school are 1.5 to 1.8 miles away along a fast B-road. The inspector framed the location test under CC2, not TR3. Dismissed.

Why this is cited

Tier 6, beyond boundary: LP02 against. In the register this counts as a case where the tier counted against the site.
