An overall vision and objectives are essential for rural communities as they feel particularly vulnerable to any change which although small in the greater scheme of things, can nevertheless fundamentally change the character of their communities. The overall guiding objective should be to preserve the character of small villages by not putting too much pressure on them through large scale housing development, increasing traffic noise and pollution and threatening them with urban sprawl. They have a special quality of life, sought out by those who choose to live in them, and worth preserving. Each option could apply in different villages throughout Rother.
