Update on Housing Needs Survey in Wickhambrook

13th September 2021 | Housing Needs, Parish Clerk Report

l

by Wickhambrook Parish Clerk

The parish council has carefully considered the agreement proposed by Community Action Suffolk (CAS), the provider of the survey and subsequent summary and full report.  On reflection, the council has decided not to enter into the agreement, which it considers would put the parish council at risk of a large financial liability, and constrain the council’s intention to make full use of information from the report to inform the development of its Neighbourhood Plan.  Councillors do not consider this to be in the interests of the parish community.

The draft minutes of the extra-ordinary meeting at which this decision was reached on 8th September will be available shortly. 

The parish council will continue to explore options to undertake a housing needs survey in the future as part of the wider Neighbourhood Planning project.
