Colwall Community Right to Build (CCRtB) Survey

Colwall Community Right to Build is a village based group dedicated to creating affordable & sustainable housing opportunities for people with Colwall connections.
We believe local people should have a say in the types, locations and size of developments and that housing should prioritise people with local links.
This survey is to help us identify interest in affordable and sustainable housing from people with local connections and potentially inform discussion about how the emerging Herefordshire plan might affect Colwall.
There are thirteen questions in two parts. Part 1 is about you and your possible future housing needs in Colwall and part 2 is about your views on housing in Colwall.
If you want to add your thoughts there is a space at the end for you to do so. Closing date is Monday 30th November 2026.
The survey is anonymous, unless you choose to share your details with us.
Thank you for taking part and speaking up for Colwall.
