It needs to be appreciated that affordable housing in small villages or rural settlements is likely to be occupied by persons with lower than average incomes. For such accommodation to be viable, there needs to be a range of facilities, or access to a range of facilities. If such facilities do not exist within the village or settlement there needs to be a regular rural bus services or community bus services to provide access to larger villages and urban conurbations, and in particular, to create a link to employment, schools, shops, and surgeries.
