West Haddon Housing Needs Survey

Feedback updated 24 Feb 2025

We asked

We conducted a study and asked residents and others with a local connection (through past residence, close family, or employment) to the Parish of West Haddon to complete a survey about housing needs and requirements. This work helps to understand the kind of housing needed in the area. The information provided is vital in producing a balanced picture of housing circumstances as well as informing future housing and planning policies. This work was undertaken with the support and assistance of the Parish Council.

You said

A Housing Needs Survey was carried out in the Parish of West Haddon between Monday 28 October 2024 and Sunday 8 December 2024. There were 58 individual responses received. 36% of all respondents confirmed that they have or may have (in the next five years) a housing need, the need being mainly for market and affordable homes. 62% of all respondents would or may support new homes in the Parish for local people.

We did

Following the collection and analysis of the West Haddon Parish Housing Needs Survey results, a report has been developed and shared with the Parish Council, before being published. Housing Needs Survey reports are available to view on our Website.

Overview

West Northamptonshire Council is conducting a housing needs survey in your area, and you are invited to take part.

Housing needs surveys are completed to help identify current and future housing need at a local level. Information collected from the surveys helps the council to understand and work towards improving the housing supply to meet those needs and looks at whether the area needs market housing, affordable housing, or both. The last West Haddon Housing Needs Survey was carried out in 2019 and is required to be updated to understand current trends and future housing needs of this village.

West Northamptonshire Council, with support from West Haddon Parish Council has decided to conduct a new survey by asking West Haddon residents questions that could help shape the form and future of the parish.

If there is more than one member of your household that will or may require alternative accommodation, therefore needing to form another separate household, they are also invited to complete a separate survey.

This survey will close midnight on Sunday 8 December 2024.

If you have any questions or enquiries about the survey, or require the survey in another format such as large print, please contact the Housing Strategy Team via email housingstrategy@westnorthants.gov.uk or telephone 0300 126 7000.

For information about how responses to housing needs surveys are managed, please see the housing needs survey privacy notice.

What happens next

The results to this survey will be collected and analysed in a report which will be made available to view online on our Housing Needs Survey webpage.
