Dear Resident,

Cheshire Community Action (a local community development charity with expertise in helping communities influence development) would like to invite you to complete this housing needs survey, which has been commissioned by Cheshire West & Chester Council to identify households in need of affordable housing.

The data from the survey can also serve as useful evidence to inform the review of the Malpas Neighbourhood Plan, which is a legal planning document that guides future development. Neighbourhood Plans enable communities to influence the extent, type, location and design of future development, and what needs to be protected. It will also provide useful evidence to inform the Parish Councils’ responses to other planning applications in the area.

Please respond if your home does not meet your current needs or likely needs in the future. It is also an opportunity to tell us if you cannot afford to move to more suitable accommodation due to high prices or rents.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete and all responses will be kept confidential. All data will only be used anonymously for the purpose of informing the Parish Council and Local Authority of the current and future level of housing need in the area.

We require one response per household. For example, a family with grown up children may need to accommodate two households if: The grown-up children want to move into their own home and their parents may wish to downsize.

The deadline for responses is 23rd August 2024.

Thank you for your time.

John Heselwood
