Ilmington Housing Needs Survey Open
A housing needs survey has been distributed to households in the parish. Please complete the survey by 25 November, if you are in need of alternative housing and wishing to be housed within the parish within the next five years.
Published: 3 November 2023
Do you want to downsize, are you currently living at home with parents and want your own home? Do you need a bungalow in preference to a house? Do you work in Ilmington and would also like to live locally?
A lack of suitable and affordable housing in rural communities has been a serious problem for many years, with house prices outstripping average incomes by large margins. The last housing needs survey was carried out in 2017 as part of the Ilmington Neighbourhood Plan so we are updating the survey to find out what homes local people need.
The form is to be completed ONLY if you have a need for alternative housing and wish to live within the parish.
If you know anyone currently living elsewhere who would like to live in Ilmington parish they can complete their own survey form. They would need to have a local connection, for example they work in the parish, previously lived in the parish or have close family currently living in the parish.
Data is being collected and analysed on our behalf by WRCC (an independent charity that supports rural communities across Warwickshire) for the purpose of identifying parish-wide housing need only. All information is treated in confidence and returns are anonymised.
A separate form should be completed by each household (family, single, couple) in need of alternative housing and wishing to be housed within the parish within the next five years.
A copy of the paper form can be found here: Ilmington HNS Nov2023
Use the Freepost envelope provided with the paper survey to return your completed form by 25 November 2023 or complete the survey online at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Ilmington23.
Thank you for participating in this survey.
