village confines: to have or not!

village confines: to have or not!

We are considering whether to contine the current policy approach of village confines. I note that some core strategies adopt confines and am looking for an example of where confines have either been scrapped or not used and the policy approach that is used? any thoughts most welcome thank you

Re: village confines: to have or not!

Just a clarification: are you asking about a Core Strategy which effectively "relegates" existing settlements to the status of open countryside (which our Core Strategy does to over 20 previously defined villages) or are you referring to the possibility of having a designated Village suitable for a range of development but not defining on a map where the settlement ends and the countryside begins?
