Neighbourhood Plan – Household Survey
Welcome to our first household survey!
What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
A neighbourhood plan (the Plan) is a document that sets out housing, amenity, conservation, infrastructure and business needs of a local area.
The plan is written by the local community, the people who know and love the area, to ensure the community gets the right types of development, in the right places.
Plans are based on the results of consultations with parish residents and businesses on local issues such as:
- what we can do for our residents, particularly the younger and older residents, to give them the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
- what social amenities (e.g. shops, a village pub, village hall, the church, the school) are needed to support the village and residents
- whether we want to attract businesses to locate in the village and if so how much land and buildings we allocate for their use
- how we preserve and improve our local natural environment, including wildlife habitats
- how we can improve our resilience to the impacts of climate change e.g. flooding
- whether we want more people to live in the village, where any new housing should be located and whether this should be affordable or market sale or for rent
- how we can influence the movement of people and goods in and out of the village, including the impacts of traffic in our area
- what recreational facilities we need (e.g playing fields, allotments) and how and where these might be provided

What area does the neighbourhood plan cover?
Lower Winterborne Parish comprises the amalgamation of the parishes of Winterborne Kingston, Anderson and Winterborne Zelston. However, with effect from later this year, the parish of Winterborne Zelston is to become a separate entity, so this Neighbourhood Plan has been agreed as relating to the area of the parishes of Winterborne Kingston and Anderson (including the hamlets of Muston and Tomson) as shown on the plan below.

Filling in the questionnaire
This household questionnaire will help us to produce a Neighbourhood Plan for Lower Winterborne that reflects the community’s needs and aspirations. We have designed this survey to ask every household in the Parish their views. Your responses are very important because they will provide evidence to support a plan which will guide decisions on planning matters for years to come. The results of this questionnaire will form the basis of our next consultation. We would be very grateful if you can fill in one questionnaire per household.
