Maresfield Parish Council - Housing Needs Survey 2021

Maresfield Parish Council - Housing Need Survey 2021

This Survey asks specific questions about your current housing position and requirements. The aim of the Survey is to find out about the nature and scale of Affordable (ie Social or subsidised) housing need in the Parish and how best this could be provided. Affordable housing includes housing for rent as well as shared ownership and is a relevant issue for older people, not just younger people with families. Your response will be treated in the strictest confidence.

The information from this Survey will be used to inform the Neighbourhood Development Plan that the Parish Council is preparing - your views will carry real weight and we do need input, please. It should only take 10 minutes of your time.
