Significant growth in villages will cause strain to infrastructure such as employment, transport and schools which will vary from village to village. An arbitrary distinction of category 1 and category 2 is too simplistic a measure and growth in the villages should be assessed individually. Consideration should be given to employment facilities within the villages and public transport to reduce car journeys and consequent pollution. Any growth in villages should be phased over the duration of the plan so that the new housing can be gradually assimilated into the village community.
