How Many Homes? Reviewing the National Housing Need for England. July 2020

With the recent Government announcement about planning reforms and their proposals to ‘Build, Build, Build’ our new report, produced for us by Opinion Research Services, contains a wealth of information regarding actual housing need figures. It is available now to all members and couldn’t come at a better time! Members, please contact us for your complimentary copy.

If you are concerned about new housing development anywhere in Devon, our comprehensive housing reports can provide you with some of the data you need to fight an unwanted proposal. ‘How Many Homes?’ is the third in our series of important reports regarding housing need in Devon and England.

If you are not already a member of Devon CPRE, please join us today to receive your complimentary copies. Anyone can become a member – individual, organisation, town/parish council – the more support we have, the more we can do to help protect Devon’s precious countryside and green spaces for all.
