+1. Means past tagging is less specific.

Possibly a new place value? Dispersed or scattered? I think dispersed is better.

However .. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Chadwell-St-Mary is described as a 'dispersed settlement' when it does not appear to be what is meant by the posts here.

This is a concern of mine .. there_needs_  to be a_good_  definition of what a 'dispersed place' is .. not just some words that could be stretched or shrunk to mean things unintended. .

Those who want this will need to figure out what is a minimum and a maximum ... Possibly? something like?

A minimum of 10 residential dwellings each separated from the others by at least 500 meters, with a maximum overall area of 5 square kilometres

Then if the place in question does not reach;

the minimum then the collection is a hamlet, or

the maximum then they are separate isolated dwellings or farms.
