The 2004 Beaudesert and Henley-in-Arden Parish Plan indicated a need for additional housing in the parishes to meet the needs of local people. A lack of affordable and/or suitable housing often forces local people to move away to find accommodation. This is naturally a matter of concern to the Joint Parish Council. So, delivered within the Parish Councils April 2006 newsletter residents will find a Housing Need Survey form. The form is also a downloadable on this page for your convenience.
Although the Parish Plan gave some indication of a need, the council is keen to establish exactly what, if any, the true need is and therefore have undertaken this specific survey.
The survey has been commissioned by the Parish Council as is the first step to identifying the exact type and size of homes that local people may need. The survey is being carried out in partnership with Warwickshire Rural Housing Association (WRHA) and Warwickshire Rural Community Council (WRCC). When the survey is complete the Joint Parish Council will consider the results and work together with WRHA, WRCC and Stratford on Avon District Council to explore how any housing needs identified can be addressed.
The Survey is for everyone, however, not just people in housing need and will help to create an up-to-date profile of residents and some general points about life in the parishes. All information you give will be treated in strict confidence and the Joint Parish Council will not see individual replies.
Forms should be returned by 5th May 2006 to WRHA, Midland Rural Housing, FREEPOST NEA 16404, Colevile LE67 3RZ
Thank you for your help in conducting this survey.
