Affordable Rural Housing – Housing needs survey

For the Parish of Bradley and the wider parish

A lack of suitable and affordable housing in rural communities has been a serious problem for many years, with house prices outstripping average incomes by large margins. This housing needs survey aims to find out what (if any) homes local people need. It will be used to inform any future development and to ensure that developers understand what is needed in the parish. It may be that you are satisfied with your own housing, but you may be aware of friends or family who have specific needs. If so, a separate form should be completed by each household (family, single, couple) in need of alternative housing within the parish within the next five years. We would like to receive their views as long as they have a local connection, for example; they work in the parish and would like to live here; they previously lived in the parish and would like to return; or they have close family currently living in the parish and would like to move closer to them. Data is being collected on our behalf by “Support Staffordshire” (an independent charity that supports rural communities across Staffordshire) for the purpose of identifying parish-wide housing need only. All information is treated in confidence. Completed forms should be returned by Friday 25th July 2025.

Thank you for participating in this survey.
