BBC News OnlineCornwall has topped a list of areas with the most villages deemed "unsustainable for growth" - missing out on new affordable homes.
That's according to new research from CLA - the membership organisation for owners of land, property and businesses in rural England and Wales.
It found 2,154 villages across England are judged to be unsustainable - making housing allocation, including the delivery of affordable homes in these communities, either highly restricted or not permitted.
Cornwall was found to have 213 unsustainable villages, followed by Wiltshire at 168 and Central Lincolnshire with 132.
Image source, Getty ImagesQuote MessageAlthough Cornwall tops the list of the most unsustainable villages, it is in fact an excellent example of a local authority actively addressing the needs of small rural communities despite the classification. Other rural local authorities should follow this lead and use all the mechanisms available to deliver affordable housing.
