Blewbury Neighbourhood Development Plan
Housing Needs Survey
The Blewbury Neighbourhood Plan (BNDP) steering
group surveyed all parish households in Autumn
2014. The results help to establish what demand
there is for new housing from within Blewbury and
also what sort of accommodation might be required.
The data presented today will form part of the
evidence base for the emerging Blewbury
Neighbourhood Plan.

results will be made available on
the Blewbury Neighbourhood Plan

here in further detail then please
get in touch with a member of the
Neighbourhood Plan group.
Discussions groups will be held in
Spring 2015.
We would also encourage you to
take away a copy of the ‘discussion
questions’ leaflet (available today)
and welcome any further written
comments you might have.
Regular Steering Group meetings
are held in the Melland Room,
Blewbury Clubhouse from 7:30pm
onwards on the second Monday of

to attend and all are encouraged to
get involved in the making of the
plan.
