This paper analyses how, and the extent to which, village plans and municipal rural and health policies have been coordinated in three Danish rural case locations. We applied a qualitative design through a document analysis of plans and policies as well as interviews in villages - with municipal administrations. Theoretically, the article builds on the coordination and bridging that have been undertaken between community-led planning and statutory planning. First, the study shows that although communities are expected to influence the successful implementation of health interventions, there is still a way to go before health and rural development planning are integrated in Danish municipalities despite innovative actions towards integration at the village level. Second, issues such as what we term 'tame planning', fear of municipal domination, difficulties in approaching village diversity, and silo-based strategy-making are identified as critical barriers to address
