The results of the Housing Needs Survey recently carried out by Engine of the North on behalf of Cheshire East Council are now available. 736 survey returns were completed (a response rate of 30%). 63% of respondents (Alderley Edge residents) were in favour of a small development in order to meet the need for affordable housing.
Of those respondents in favour of more affordable housing, the reasons given were:
- a need for greater diversity within the community (32 respondents)
- a need to support the working population (including low-paid, or key workers)
- a need to help first-time buyers get on the housing ladder (16 respondents)
13 respondents were against any kind of development (affordable or otherwise)
