There is not enough development planned for villages.

Why try to re-invent the wheel with so-called "garden" suburbs and "garden"villages, when we already have plenty of existing village settlements capable of sustainable growth, cumulatively able to address a significant proportion of the future housing requirement. Many of the existing services such as schools and shops would benefit from future growth, as would the local micro-economies, responsible for a significant proportion of local rural employment and also many SME start-ups.
