Representation Summary:

We consider it is misleading to specify minimum (or maximum) numbers of dwellings in Rural Centres and Selected Rural Villages, because the suitability of sites should be assessed on their relative sustainability, taking account of the settlement's position in the hierarchy. All Rural Centres, including Ullesthorpe, should be seen as a focus for further rural development.
