Any development in the rest of the rural area should be absolutely minimised. The qualifier that some development is permitted within villages that have good transport links appears mis-guided. Cambridge city and new settlements have at least as good and generally better transport links, so this quality is not unique to villages. What is unique to villages is the ease with which their character can be completely ruined by over-development. This must be avoided at all costs
