It is important that the ridge villages are not expanded laterally so that they join up. Development boundaries should be maintained. Option 1 and 3 are broadly similar. It would be a mistake to go on enlarging those villages with facilities, money needs to be spent on improving facilities in some of the smaller communities. A survey should be done of all the villages to audit all facilities, and what facilities are required. A combination of option 2 and 4 may be the way to go. It is appropriate to have an overall vision and objectives for the rural areas.
