“As the application is within an all other settlement, AS.10 is engaged”

Summary

Conversion of a disused former school in Stretton-on-Fosse to one self-build home, a resubmission of a scheme permitted in December 2025. Granted under delegated powers on 29 September 2026. The case is recorded for one point: the village has no Built-Up Area Boundary, so the Core Strategy treats it as countryside, but the officer applied the Annex B definition and held it to be a settlement as the NPPF defines it, so S4 applied. The report is a scanned image and was read by OCR; page numbers are PDF pages.

Why this is cited

Lowest tier noted; the officer applied the Annex B definition of a settlement and S4; approved. In the register this counts as a descriptive mention that played no part in the reasoning.
