In considering where new development should be located Rutland County Council has to balance the requirements for development against other needs such as sustainability and the protection of the environment. Development needs to take place in the settlements where the need to travel can be reduced through a good range of facilities and services and good accessibility by public transport This discussion paper assesses the sustainability of each village in terms of its accessibility to services from which it determines a settlement hierarchy for Rutland. The relative sustainability of settlements and the settlement hierarchy help inform strategy and policy formulation in the LDF Core Strategy by identifying the most sustainable locations for new development in Rutland. Other work being undertaken in the preparation of the Core Strategy, particularly the individual town and village appraisals (April 2009), have also been fed into the sustainability assessments of the towns and villages 2.0 POLICY CONTEXT The settlement classification for Rutland is set out in the Settlement Chapter of the adopted Rutland Local Plan (2001).
