Settlement Hierarchy Assessment

The Council has undertaken assessments of the villages in Charnwood to inform the Settlement Hierarchy that will be included in the Local Development Framework Core Strategy. The studies consider the availability and accessibility of services and facilities, settlement size and function and the geographical distribution of settlements and interactions between them.
