HBC Housing Needs telephone survey

Over the past few weeks NEMS Market Research Consultancy has carried out a ‘Housing Needs telephone survey’ across Hyndburn.

To supplement the telephone survey NEMS Market Research Consultancy will be carrying out approximately 100 door to door interviews across Hyndburn over the next 10 days to 2 weeks in an attempt to boost the number of target respondents - specifically those households living in private rented properties. This sector forms a significant percentage of Hyndburn’s housing market and we need an increased sample to make the results robust.

This information will be used to help produce the Council’s Strategic Housing Market Assessment and in turn help the Council develop its housing and planning policies to best meet these needs, including whether there is a local need for affordable housing in areas and, if so, of what size and type.

The final report should be available at the start of May 2014.
