The tier sentence ¶14

“walking to the local services”

Summary

Permission in principle for one self-build home on grassland next to a small cluster of buildings west of Roche, beyond the new A391 bypass. Dismissed. Cornwall's supply was 3.9 years and HO7 carried substantial weight. But the site was not physically well-related to Roche, so S5(1)(j) did not apply. Building next to the last house would *extend* the group rather than infill within it, so S5(1)(e) failed. The walking route (900 m, unlit, no footway, then an unsignalised four-lane crossing at a roundabout) was a TR3 failure given substantial weight, and S5(4) was not met.

The location finding

TR3: fail. 900 m walk to village shops, 1.25 km to school; unlit lane without footway; unsignalised four-lane A391 crossing by a roundabout; bus stop 450 m but beyond the same crossing (DL 12-14, 17)

Why this is cited
