It's no surprise that there is greater reliance on the use of the car in rural areas. In theory the Cluster Village plan makes sense but the reality is that many parents, even those living near to schools, continue to use their vehicles for dropping off and collecting the children, particularly in bad weather or if they have jobs to go to. New houses surely must now have car charging points to encourage the purchase of eco friendly hybrid and all electric vehicles which will also make housing development in non cluster villages agreeable for the longer term.
