C · Tier cited in support, beside route or transport evidence
Category 2 settlement / key services
“Broadwas is defined, in Annex B, as a Category 2 settlement as it has at”
“the public house, school, recreation field, and bus stops are all within walking distance of the appeal site and there is a doctor's surgery within cycling distance, even if this would only be suitable for competent and confident cyclists”
One house on a paddock between two existing houses just outside the Broadwas development boundary, in a district with a five-year supply and a plan adopted in March 2026. Allowed. The inspector held the plot to be "limited infilling within groups of houses" under S5(1)(e), found the location acceptable for one dwelling given walkable village facilities and buses, and treated S5(1)(e) as a material consideration outweighing conflict with the brand-new local plan's boundary policy.
Category 2 (two key services, daily bus) supported the location and the bus was tested as a genuine alternative; allowed. In the register this counts as a case where the tier was cited in support of the scheme beside route or transport evidence.
