The whole of section 2 is well thought out and it is reassuring to see that the pressures on the villages are identified and analysed comprehensively. It is hard to know whether the trends can be turned back by new housing or are inevitable. What is clear is that the connectivity offered by the car makes village life desirable for affluent professionals. New houses may not offer housing for local people, but will be crucial to support local services, shops, schools etc.
