Undertaken During the Development of the Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan

COMPILIATION OF ALL THE SURVEYS (INCLUDING RESULTS) UNDERTAKEN DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRIGHSTONE PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN

Dear Resident,

HOUSING SURVEY

Using powers provided by the recent Localism Act, Brighstone Parish Council has commenced the process of producing a Neighbourhood Plan for the whole Parish.

The Plan will be a community-led framework for guiding future development and growth and will contain a vision, aims, planning policies and proposals for improving our area. It will deal with a wide range of issues including housing provision - which will need to be based upon established local need and future demographic change.

To assist with the process, we have prepared this survey to find out the current housing circumstances and future needs of all households within the parish.

The findings of the survey will form a material consideration in determining planning applications for housing in Brighstone Parish (Brighstone, Brook, Mottistone, Hulverstone, Limerstone and part of Yafford and Atherfield – see map) so future applications for planning permission will have to explain how proposed housing schemes fit within established housing need and the Neighbourhood Plan. It is important, therefore, that we receive as many completed questionnaires as possible to ensure that we have an accurate assessment of the housing needs of the parish.

If you and members of your household are NOT looking to move in the next 5 years you need only to complete Section A of the Survey other than to make any comments you might wish to contribute in Section C on the last page.

PLEASE TAKE THE FEW MINUTES REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY, seal it in the envelope provided and have it ready for collection by one of our local volunteers. If your survey has not been collected by the date printed on the envelope, please take it to The Village Stores/Post Office and place it in the Housing Survey box provided.

Please note that no personal information is being collected and we will not identify who has completed any particular questionnaire.

Thank you for taking part in this survey!

Please make any further comments you wish to add about housing needs and future housing development in Brighstone Parish Detailed analysis of the 228 responses in this section are given below.

An analysis has been undertaken of the open ended responses received in the Housing Survey concentrating on the last question and also on the 'other' section of Question 25. Each response was coded to allow us to quantify the level of comment around particular issues. Where more than one issue was raised we have attempted to capture and code each part of the response separately to fully represent comments made. The following graphs summarise the results of this coding exercise. JB August 2014

Clarification note: Housing Survey Report

The default Survey Monkey presentation of data seems to provide a % of responses to each question rather than within each category of respondent (You or your family; Somebody leaving the household). This means that there is a need to present the tabled information in a different graph format and based on representation of column rather than row data). I have done this for some example questions below which may aid interpretation of the results in a more relevant way.

Percentages in pie charts are based on the proportion of the total number of respondents to that particular question (not as a % of the total number of returned surveys).

Question 10: How likely is it that over the next five years you or a member of your family will move from this home?

Question 12: What is the gross annual income (before tax) of your whole household?

They 100% figure is the Survey Monkey calculation of people preferring not to say how much their household income is (76 respondents indicated prefer not to say). Many people skipped the question and only 31 answered which is 5.4% of all returned surveys.

Question 13: If you think you or a member of your household may move in the next five years is it likely to be:

Question 14: And do you think the move will be:

Dear Resident

RESIDENTS SURVEY

The Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan will (once completed and adopted) directly influence the future of our area by having local planning polices which have been devised and agreed by our community. Our work on the Neighbourhood Plan is progressing well and I hope that you were able to come along to one of the Information Days in May to find out more about what we have been doing and what is coming up (remember there is also information on the Neighbourhood Plan web pages of the Parish Council website).

Thank you once again for completing the Housing Survey in February. The high return rate means that we can have great confidence in the results. These have now been analysed and have shown a total of thirty properties as being required to address the present local housing need. Details of these are shown in the section of the Survey asking some further questions about Housing. Full details can be found in the published Brighstone Parish Housing Needs Survey Report which can be accessed from the Parish Council web site (www.brighstoneparish.org) and is also available in Brighstone Community Library.

This second survey is once again being delivered to every household in the parish. Through it we are looking to get your further thoughts on how we can meet the above identified housing need and also other matters relevant to our community, and its local economy and environment.

The Neighbourhood Plan will need to be in line with the policies and objectives of the Island Plan but gives us an opportunity to define, as a community, what these mean for our area. In each section of this survey we have briefly set out some relevant background information to provide context to the questions being asked.

This is the first and perhaps key chance in the process to give your views on a wide variety of matters that will feature in the objectives and policies of the Neighbourhood Plan.

We have delivered one copy to each household and would like to know the consensus view of the adults (over 16 year olds) in your household on the questions asked. If there are differing views in your household you can obtain further forms so that everyone is able to have their say. Please contact Avice Mariner on 740396 or e-mail [email protected]

There is a separate Youth Survey and Business Survey which are being conducted in different ways. If you think you or a member of your family should complete one of these please contact us and we will let you how you can take part.

If your copy of the Residents Survey has not been collected by a volunteer by the date printed on the envelope, please take it to the Village Shop/Post Office and place it in the Residents Survey box provided. No personal information is being collected and we will not identify who has completed any particular questionnaire.

We have worked hard to try and make the questions straightforward with many only requiring a tick of a box to give your opinion. We have also given space for you to give your more detailed views if you wish to.

We hope to match if not better our 70% return rate from the last survey, making the results an accurate reflection of our community’s views and helping to make the final Neighbourhood Plan something that everyone in our community has helped to shape.

Thank you for your support.

RESIDENTS SURVEY

At time of survey total number of households in parish was 812 when removing known empty properties (on market or holiday homes) total of 780 households. Returned completed surveys 426 making a return rate of 54.6%.

The Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan Residents Survey has a number of questions set out in the following sections:

Providing houses; jobs and the local economy; protecting our environment; improving community services; travel and transport; creating a sustainable community; and community safety.

These are the sort of topics which may appear in the final Neighbourhood Plan that we need your opinion on. We have tried to make the survey as easy as possible to complete by making many of the questions simple tick box answers but we have also provided many opportunities for you to give us your more detailed thoughts too.

The Isle of Wight Council’s Island Plan sets out the planning context for development on the Isle of Wight. It describes Brighstone Village as one of eleven Rural Service Centres across the Island. Not only does Brighstone Village provide important facilities for village residents, it is also important for residents in nearby smaller and more rural villages and hamlets. The Island Plan states that development within the wider countryside will be focussed, where possible, within, or immediately adjacent to Rural Service Centres helping to support their wider role and protect the countryside. It also states that the character that makes these villages attractive places to live should also be maintained, whilst allowing for small-scale sustainable growth to meet the needs of a thriving rural settlement and the wider area that it serves. Both within Brighstone Village and the rest of the parish, development will also be expected to meet an identified local need.

New development outside of Brighstone Village (and its settlement boundary) is likely to be limited to meeting the needs of agriculture / forestry / fishing or helping to add value to these sectors such as woodland products, farm shops etc. Additionally, tourism development that helps to maintains, improves and/or broadens the Island’s tourism facilities is supported across the Isle of Wight including in the wider rural area.

The Brighstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan needs to be in line with the policies of the Island Plan and but gives us as a community the opportunity to define what the Island Plan policies will mean for our parish at a local level.

Please complete yours as fully as you can as all the answers will be used to help shape the policies of the Neighbourhood Plan. We will be holding two consultation days in the autumn when we hope to provide information on what the Residents Survey has told us and update you on progress with the Neighbourhood Plan. 2

Please provide your thoughts on how these services could be improved. (Difficult to sub categorise) FACILITIES Allotments are a major benefit to a society such as Brighstone 2 and encourage sharing and cooperation. is there scope for a scheme to arrange partial use of large 2 gardens for 'allotments' where owners can no longer manage to maintain? Cleaner toilets, longer opening hours for library, leisure 2 activities for younger people (20-40 years) eg yoga/Pilates, community allotments, cafe/bakery. Brighstone is wheelchair unfriendly eg Footpaths, toilets, 1 doctors, shops. All these things need to be addressed but in keeping with the look of the village. I suggest someone tries using a wheelchair themselves if they want to know what it's really like. There are a wide range of halls etc - are they sustainable? 4

Library - an evening opening time for those people who have 2 to work. Pre school building - do not support prefab buildings in 2 schools Access for disabled people should be a priority 4 There are many club, societies and activities going on in 2 Brighstone already. Broadband services are very important as are public toilets to give services to tourists and walkers. More seats around the recreation field so parents can sit 1 while their children play. rationalise existing facilities eg public halls, pavilion, reading 1 room etc. Update toilets, extend library, enquire if the National trust 2 have any pockets of land suitable for allotments, expand and refurbish present doctors surgery, local healthcare services could then be included Hoist in disabled toilet, an outdoor gym in the park, bowls in 2 the park Library could have been improved by not closing the original 2 building and fighting to keep professional librarian

Make over of existing public toilet. Greater liaison between 2 local interest groups to achieve consensus on location, type and frequency of service provision. Existing halls (reading room, Wilberforce, etc) be used for 2 drop in centres for older people, relying on volunteer drivers and a little local government funding? Youth clubs for young people Physio made available locally for older people More money for library services 2 A better bus service?! 2 PARKING AND I am aware that parking at the present doctors surgery is a 3 SURGERY worry to them. Relocation would seem to be the only possible answer. Car parking is inadequate and more blood tests performed at 2 the surgery, instead of travelling to Newport. We are aware that old people have been left in their homes in conditions where they have been unable to manage the basic hygiene requirements. Surgery parking, facilities for teens - outdoor gym?, Day care 3 centre for elderly. Nice park and gardens for visitors/residents. The only seating in the village is opposite village shop - not great for visitors. (Blanchards)! It would be great if the Drs surgery could be located where 2 there is adequate parking. Doctors car park 3

New purpose built surgery with parking 2 Designated parking close to Drs surgery desirable 2 Move Drs surgery where there is parking. Blue badge holders 3 abandon their cars in the middle of the road, by a primary school, recipe for disaster. GP surgery - parking required urgently 2 A new Drs surgery with adequate parking could be sited on 2 the Blanchards site along with allotments. A less dangerous location should be found for the doctors 2 surgery. A chiropodist would be welcome Allocated parking near to the doctors for older folk 2 SURGERY Drs surgery needs to be larger with better facilities especially 2 needs a car park. Easier Drs appointments at more convenient out of hours 2 times. Allotments on Blanchards Chiropody? 2 Health centre (doctors, dentist etc) together with pharmacy 2 might be constructed on the parish council's vacant plot at Wilberforce Road with car parking provided on the site now occupied by the reading room. Exercise programmes Heart care club 2 Doctors surgery waiting room upgraded 2 A multi use surgery for other therapies eg aromatherapy, 1 chiropody etc would be useful somewhere in the village Doctors surgery should be a larger building with several rooms 1 for various treatments Allow developers to provide community and health facilities in 3 Brighstone By having as many care facilities deliveries locally rather than 2 at St Marys or elsewhere Better location for doctors surgery for parking etc 3 New Surgery built 1 The Drs surgery needs to be in a larger property 2 BROADBAND, provision of faster broadband will increase the ability to work 2 MOBILE and TV from home and to access the range of services online. The SIGNALS problem with the question is its lack of clarity, one mans recreational facility is another mans right move, just think of the skateboard parks. broadband: Ensure everyone's property has at least the best 2 minimum standard before pushing for further improvements. try to get more support from businesses (financial) for young people Better co-ordination when installing services - will the newly 2 surfaced road be dug up to install broadband.

Aside from internet access, I don't really feel like any of the 2 other services need improving - they are very good already. Broadband speed dire and surely desirable for an efficient 2 village. Toilets obviously are very modest but we respect the attempts to keep them open and functioning as well as possible. We are sort of neutral on the library. Don't want allotments at all! looking at them in other parts of the country they quickly become an eyesore, proudly bearing shabby sheds and weeds, maybe necessary on urban outskirts but not on IW. The doctors surgery seems modest, especially parking, but works extremely well against all the odds. We must be the luckiest place on the IW for our doctors surgery.

Fast broadband is now essential if working from home and 2 existing businesses are to be supported YOUNG PEOPLE More for youngsters perhaps, Ramblers use toilets. Would 1 not want to lose any For the young: good transport into other areas - for those that 1 have no private transportation. Safe cycle paths along roads. Young people need to be consulted. The strident up-roar 2 against their hoped for skate board ramp a few tears ago was disgraceful. It appears that possibly the number of families with children 2 in the village has decreased, so facilities for young people would actually have to attract youngsters back into the village from the outlying areas - parental transport probably required Involving the young, older people and disabled in decision 2 making Youth club and young farmers club. Men's shed (as in 2 mainland for retired men) Park facilities for adolescents 2 Something for teenagers: surf school, skate board park, 2 hangout area/cafe Facilities for young people already provided but many 1 youngsters do not take these up! eg badminton, cricket, football, tennis, keep fit, Zumba etc brownies, Scouts. OTHER Encourage all of us to pick up discarded litter. 2 Some thought needs to be given to the changing needs of 1 elderly residents from 'total independence' to 'assisted living' in their homes Ask for European help financially. Andrew Turner is our MP 2 how do we apply for a grant? Improve access but not at the expense of losing services 1 Invariably it falls upon the kind volunteers and community 2 spirit of Brighstone

A spot on parish council meetings agenda could be reserved 2 for discussion and feed back at every meeting of the items listed at D1 I would like Brighstone to get funding for an outside gym. It is 1 always good to have the aim to improve all things! Our parish council are excellent in the upkeep of our village 2 amenities. I cannot think of any place they do not look after and maintain. For two residents over 90 we cannot agree that any of these 2 services need improving Continue to budget and lobby IOWC. More community 2 awareness of status quo and how to move forward. Seek volunteers - ie community input improved. Reduce council tax - reduce the number of councillors 2 Small grants to help those willing to create and run facilities. 3 I feel services are adequate for needs of the village. With 2 limited funds the PC should focus on improving fewer things but making sure that it makes meaningful improvements to projects it choses to pursue.

Dear Business owner

If you live in Brighstone Parish you will or have received a Residents Survey the aim of which is to help us form a picture of our community and its future needs.

Commercial viability is also critical to the future of our parish and additionally is key in helping to build the Neighbourhood Plan that, when approved, will help the parish control its own destiny to a greater extent and must be considered in all planning matters relating to the area.

This business survey is being sent to all businesses in Brighstone Parish big or small. It is totally confidential but the highest level of response is essential if we are to better understand the obstacles and opportunities that influence how every business might prosper.

Accordingly, even if you feel that your input has little relevance, please take a few minutes to complete this survey.

If you would prefer to complete the survey online you can access it from the following link: http://tiny.cc/s59zhx

Your response will be collected by one of the volunteers by the 19th of July. If they have not called for it by this date, please put it in the envelope provided and take it to the Village Shop / Post Office and place it in the Residents Survey collection box that has been provided there.
