Introduction Wychavon District Council undertook a rural housing needs survey in the Parish of Pebworth during January – February 2017. 363 surveys were delivered to householders in the parish of Pebworth. The survey is designed to be completed by every householder within the parish in order to examine current or future housing need. The survey also asked that if the respondent had a family member or other person who would like to move or return to the Parish to live they could provide contact details and a further 4 surveys were sent out for this reason making a total of 367. By the deadline of 19 th February 2017 169 surveys were completed and returned, which represents a response rate of 45.5 %. 10 surveys were completed online (1 not counted as submitted twice ) 159 surveys were completed by post 1 survey was completed by telephone 7 surveys were returned after the deadline and therefore were not included in the results. 1 of the respondents who returned their survey late indicated that would require housing in the next 1-3 years to be closer to their job and they had a local connection with the parish. They required a 2 bedroom property rented from a housing association. NB This survey was not sent to the parishes surrounding Pebworth (Cleeve Prior, Honeybourne, North and Middle Littleton and Bickmarsh) and therefore does not assess housing need in the adjacent parishes. 3 2.
