The Rural Housing Policy Review is now seeking views of Parish Councils on affordable housing. This review is exploring what has changed since the production of key reports into rural affordable housing published 2005-2008 and what now needs to happen to assist delivery. It is interested in the factors that encourage and deter Parish Councils from engaging in the delivery of rural affordable housing. Please complete this short tick box questionnaire which will only take about 10 minutes and will be enormously helpful to the review group. Please email your completed questionnaire by 25 July to Jo.Lavis64@gmail.com. If you have problems accessing the questionnaire or any queries concerning the review, please contact Jo Lavis through her e-mail.
