Housing needs survey – July 2022
Do you want to downsize, are you
currently living at home with parents or friends and want your own home, do you
need a bungalow in preference to a house? Do you work in the town but cannot
afford to buy a home here? A lack of suitable and affordable housing has been a
problem for many years, with house prices outstripping average incomes. A local
housing needs survey was last undertaken in 2015, as part of the Neighbourhood
Development Plan, and this information is now out-of-date so a new survey is
being undertaken. Each dwelling across the parish should shortly receive a
letter giving information about the new survey. You can either complete the
survey online or request that a survey form is sent to you (and return postage
is free). Please consider the housing needs of your household (family,
single, couple) and respond as appropriate when the letter arrives.
