Community decision (10)
I believe the answer is:
settlement
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'community' is the first definition.
(settlement is a kind of community)
'decision' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for settlement that I've seen before include "Hamlet - conclusion" , "Small colony" , "Dispute-resolving agreement" , "Subsidence; community" , "Small outpost of families" .)
