New Buckfastleigh Housing Needs Survey
You may be asking what is the point in filling this in?
A Housing Needs Survey is an independent report which collates information about the current housing situation, circumstances and need in our community. An assessment of the data collated is then used to identify what housing is needed with an emphasis on affordable housing which can be used by your Town Council, Dartmoor National Park, Teignbridge District Council and community groups to ensure the right number, size and tenure of homes are built.
It is important that residents complete the survey even if you do not have a current need. Further information to follow in due course.
