SPATIAL OPTIONS FOR GROWTH
Spatial Strategy

• Key part of the document looks at
• Options for Growth How much new development
  should take place in Rutland and where should it
  be located?
• Development in the Villages How should
  villages be grouped in terms of facilities and
  types of development permitted?
• Development in the Countryside What scale and
  type of development should take place in the
  countryside?

12
SPATIAL OPTIONS FOR GROWTH

• Options for Growth
• Amount of new housing determined by Regional
  Plan
• Draft Regional Plan proposes average 170
  dwellings per year in Rutland 2001-2026
• Total 4,250 new dwellings over 25 years 1,900
  already built or with planning permission
• Government guidance stresses need for Core
  Strategy to provide continuous supply of
  housing should development proceed more quickly

Rutland Proposed Settlement Hierarchy
23
SPATIAL STRATEGY

• Scale and type of development in Villages
• Local Service Centres Largest villages with
  best range of facilities and access to public
  transport
• Smaller Service Centres - Limited range of
  facilities
• Suitable for infill development or small
  developments adjoining the villages?
• Other Villages - few services and facilities
• Suitable for very minor development only?

24
SPATIAL STRATEGY

• Development in the Countryside
• Current policies restrict development in the
  countryside to that needing a countryside
  location and appropriate to the countryside e.g.
• development essential for agriculture,
  horticulture, forestry, sport, recreation,
  visitors facilities, small-scale employment etc.
• Should this approach continue or should there be
  a more restrictive approach limiting development
  to locations readily accessible by public
  transport?
• Suitable for very minor development only?
