Do you have a strong
connection to the parish of Aston Abbotts?
Do you require less expensive homes to be able to remain in the village?
What do you think about providing homes for local people?
The Parish
Council has asked the Rural Housing Enabler from Community Impact Bucks to
conduct a Housing Needs Survey (HNS) in the village. The Parish Council believes local people
including families, grown up children and ageing residents may have difficulty
finding a home they can afford in Aston Abbotts.
The survey
will establish whether there is a need for a small development of affordable
housing in the village and whether there is support for the Parish Council to
pursue the project. Rural affordable housing schemes are built using the rural exception planning policy which
provides homes, available for local
people only who cannot afford to rent or buy on the open market. The properties always remain affordable and
are protected in perpetuity for local people.
We hope
that you will take a few minutes to complete the housing needs form which will
be delivered to every household in
October 2014.
If you are
in need of an affordable home in Aston Abbotts, or feel that you should support
such a project please ensure that you complete section 2 of the survey.
Personal details are used for analysis purposes by CIB. Name and address only will be passed to the partner housing association, local
authority or Bucks Home Choice to enable them to contact you in the future and
advise you where to register, if a scheme does go ahead.
Please return your form in the
FREEPOST envelope by 24thth October 2014.
