Tier label used

Smaller Villages (fourth tier)

The tier sentence ¶22

“Hough-on-the-Hill falls within Smaller Villages”

Summary

Three dwellings on a paddock that the conservation area appraisal names as an Important Open Space in Hough-on-the-Hill, a village of dispersed farmsteads. The inspector found harm at the lower end of the spectrum but of considerable importance and weight, not outweighed by moderate housing benefits. The design conflict was treated as a DP3(3) refusal circumstance under S5(2), and the benefits were substantially outweighed. Dismissed.

Why this is cited

Fourth-tier policy framework; dismissed. In the register this counts as a case where the tier counted against the site.
