Action Hampshire have been commissioned by Eversley Parish Council and Hart District Council to find out the current and future housing needs of local people as part of developing the Neighbourhood Plan. The purpose of the survey is to obtain information from households in Eversley for all types of housing, whether it be for first time buyers, renters, upsizers, downsizers or affordable housing.
If you are a local resident or have a local connection to the Parish, please complete this survey. Paper copies of the survey can be requested by contacting the Parish Clerk via clerk@eversley-pc.gov.uk or 07752 735690
At this stage, no decisions have been made about moving forward with any type of housing scheme. That’s why your feedback is so important, this survey will help determine whether there’s a genuine need for development of new homes, what type and how many.
Part 1 of this survey is for all households to complete, including those who do not live but work in the parish. Part 2 is for anyone who needs to move to new accommodation within the next 10 years. Part 3 is for completion by those who have an affordable housing need (definition overleaf). If a close family member has left the Parish and is in need of housing in Eversley, please ask them to complete this survey, or complete the survey on their behalf.
In many rural areas, providing a small number of affordable homes for local people has helped villages remain vibrant and inclusive. It allows younger generations, families, and older residents to stay close to their roots, preserving the character of the community and supporting local services. If a need for affordable homes is identified through Part 3 of this survey, any homes delivered would be reserved for local people in perpetuity and could be provided by a specialist Housing Association or the District Council. This type of development is considered an exception to standard planning rules because it meets a proven local need, something that can be demonstrated through surveys like this.
