Corsham Neighbourhood Plan: Housing Needs Survey

We have begun work on the Corsham Neighbourhood Plan for 2024-2038

Please help shape the future of Corsham by completing this short survey for the Neighbourhood Plan.

Corsham Town Council is reviewing the current Corsham Neighbourhood Plan, which was adopted in 2019. When complete, the Plan will help to guide development for the period to 2038.

This Housing Needs Survey is aimed at you and those in your household who may have a housing need within the next 10 years. The survey aims to gather information on the current housing situation, identify gaps, and prioritise future housing projects that reflect the true needs of our community. Your responses will be treated confidentially and will only be used for the purposes of this study.

By taking a few moments to complete this survey, you will be helping to influence how growth happens and help to ensure that it meets the needs of our community.

Thank you for your time and feedback.
