My nearest village is 2 k's away. It's small: one general store, one cafe, one pub, three tourist shops, a hall, a primary school, an environmental centre and about 60 houses. There's no room for another street to be added because it's sandwiched between a steep hill, two small rivers and a floodplain. The only development that could happen would be if the local council allowed blocks of land to be subdivided, or second storey additions to the houses. I wouldn't object if the zoning regulations were correctly phrased to ensure social justice, because there is a desperate shortage of rural and rental housing.

It doesn't need a new road round here for the off-comers, except those in housing-estates: most of the more attractive existing homes and new developments in SW England are priced and advertised for the Canary Wharf set, not buyers on local pay! (Actually many Londoners in ordinary work like teaching, brick-laying, bank-work etc. struggle to afford homes in their own town now.)
