Lyme Regis Housing Needs Survey

Overview

Lyme Regis Community Land Trust, Dorset Council & Dorset Community Action are working together to conduct an online housing survey to help plan for the future.

This survey can be completed by all residents and anyone with a local connection to the town, regardless of their housing situation. This will help us better understand the current housing provision in the area and identify if there is a need for affordable housing.

A local connection means you or your family live or have lived in Lyme Regis, or you currently work more than 16 hours a week in the town.

This survey is anonymous and will be handled in line with Dorset Council's confidentiality procedures and should take between 5 and 15 minutes to complete.

If you’d prefer to complete a paper copy of the housing needs survey, you can click here to download it. Once filled in, Please pop in an envelope marked 'Housing Needs Survey - Confidential' and either post it to:

Why your views matter

As part of creating a genuinely representative idea of housing need, Lyme Regis Community Land Trust is pressing for a more detailed housing survey to get a clearer idea of what may be needed in the town, to help sustain a thriving community for the future. We want to know what sort of new housing is required in Lyme Regis. We would like Lyme Regis residents and people with a local connection to Lyme Regis to be involved in this process, to help influence the right sort of new housing.
