| Findings: |
-
The housing needs survey indicated strong support for a small development of affordable housing to meet local needs, although concern was expressed that this should be within the village boundary on a brown field site.
- The survey suggests a need for around 19 homes over the next 10 years to meet local need. Of these the survey suggests that they are split evenly between rented and owner occupied.
- The survey suggests a need for 5 bungalows and 7 2/3 bed properties.
- The survey suggests a need for around 7 rented properties with affordable rents below £60 per week and a need for 3 to 4 low cost owner occupied properties with a purchase price of less than £60,000.
