Village Inset Maps

The Melton Local Plan contains Inset Maps for those villages that have a settlement envelope where development may be acceptable in principle under the provisions of Policy OS1. Whether development will be acceptable in principle will also depend on the sustainability of a village. The Melton Core Strategy provides further guidance on this issue. The Borough Council will have regard to this emerging policy as well as other planning guidance when considering development proposals in the villages.

The Melton Core Strategy proposes three categories of village:

Category One & Two; These villages are only suitable for small-scale infill development within their existing built form
Ab Kettleby	Asfordby Hill
Asfordby	Bottesford
Buckminster	Croxton Kerrial
Edmonthorpe	Frisby on the Wreake
Gaddesby	Great Dalby
Harby	Hose
Knipton	Long Clawson
Nether Broughton	Old Dalby
Queensway	Redmile
Scalford	Sewstern
Somerby	Stathern
Thorpe Satchville	Twyford
Waltham on the Wolds	Wymondham

Category Three: These villages and hamlets would not be suitable locations for new housing or employment development. However, this would not normally prevent house extensions, replacement dwellings or other development that is acceptable in the countryside

Barkestone le Vale	Barsby

Please note: villages that do not have an inset map do not have a settlement envelope.
