Housing Needs Survey

In 2018 we conducted a new Housing Needs Survey for Fownhope, funded via a grant successfully obtained from Herefordshire Council.  We were keen for as many people as possible to complete the survey, whether a resident of Fownhope, someone who works in Fownhope but lives elsewhere or those who may be hoping to return to Fownhope perhaps to be closer to family or work for example, so that a full and true picture of the housing need in Fownhope is achieved.  This may certainly be for affordable housing but may also be related to housing opportunities perhaps for self-build, granny annexes, conversions or rental of spare rooms to those looking for accommodation in the village.

Fownhope last had a housing needs survey in 2012.  The new survey will give us the best idea of what size and type of affordable homes are needed now.  They could be flats for young single villagers, houses for young families or bungalows for older people who need somewhere smaller and easier to manage.

The results can be downloaded from the link below. If you have any questions having read the survey, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
