Please take part in a 10 minute survey of the affordable housing needs for town

The survey aims to understand what the local housing need is and how local people can be supported to stay close to their support networks, work or education.

The survey can help shape new housing delivery in the Town. The results of the survey will be published on the Town Council’s website.

HOW TO TAKE PART:

If you or anyone in your household has a housing need, even if they've had to move away, please return this survey by 10th January 2025.

Households might be single people, couples or families. The survey should take around 10 mins to complete. You can complete the form online at: https://online1.snapsurveys.com/sevenoaks or by scanning the QR code on the poster.

The purpose of the survey is to find out if new affordable housing for people all ages with strong local connections to the Town is needed. This might be due to people living in insecure/expensive private rented housing, a young person unable to move from the family home or essential workers who have had to move away to find cheaper housing elsewhere.

The survey also seeks to understand whether there are older homeowners who need alternative housing, maybe because their present home is too large or unmanageable, but they want to remain living in the town community.

It is widely recognised that people living on low or even average incomes can face real difficulties trying to find a secure and affordable home in the area where they live and/or work.

Paper copies of the survey with pre-paid envelopes are also available at the Sevenoaks Town Council offices in Bradbourne Vale Road, Sevenoaks TN13 3QG. Opening hours are 8.45am to 5pm Mon to Thursday and 8.45am to 4.30pm on Fridays.
