Affordable Housing Development in Leigh |
Housing Needs Survey - Proposed Affordable Housing Development for Leigh
In July 2014 in conjunction with the Parish Council and Mole Valley District Council we conducted a Housing Needs Survey in the parishes of Leigh, Betchworth, Buckland and Brockham. This survey identified that there was a level of need for additional affordable housing in all of the villages.
Following the results for the Parish of Leigh, the Parish Council in Leigh and I have been working towards the development of a small scheme for local people. We are now in a position where proposals for the development of a rural exception site in the village is being drawn up.
One of the key planning policies for the development of a rural exception site is that the homes must be affordable and available in perpetuity for people with a local connection. In the event that not all of the homes are needed by residents in Leigh a cascade system would be put in place enabling residents in the nearest villages to become eligible.
With this in mind we are updating the results of the 2014 survey.
Please complete this survey form if you believe you are in need of affordable housing. Complete a separate form for each household or individual in need of housing, for instance if a whole family move together, complete one form, if mature children are in need of independent accommodation, complete one form for each person.
