This is a return rate of 25.00%. Of the returned forms, 8 (25.81%) responded, saying that either the whole household or someone living in the household needs to move, within the parish, in the next 5 years. This will be analysed further in the conclusion to this report. In Cumbria since 2003 on average 19.15% of returned survey forms, completed by Cumbria Rural Housing Trust, have identified a local housing need. This brief report details the information derived from these 8 survey responses who expressed a need. 1 of the households is on the Local Authority or Housing Association register or waiting list. Housing Need 1. Of the 8 households indicating a housing need, we consider that 7 are in need of affordable housing within the Torver Parish area. 1 2 4 Now Within 3 years Within 5 years We consider that the remaining 1 do not fit the criteria of being in genuine housing need. 2.

The Parish Council would deliver them by hand, with a form being delivered to every house in the Torver, including second homes and holiday homes, ie 100% distribution. A return envelope was provided. (These households are in the post code sector LA21 8.) The Parish Council were also supplied with posters to advertise the survey House Prices House prices of house sales per quarter, for the period October 2004 – December 2005, for Postcode sector LA21 8, which includes Torver, were obtained and can be found at the end of the report.

We have only lived in the Parish for 18 months, but returned to the village after 16 years away. When we bought our house, 28 years ago, no local would buy it, it had to be advertised in national papers to get someone interested! So how can I be blamed? My husband and I eventually intend to retire here anyway. We get involved with everything in the village – ask Councillor P Barr. We are currently about ½ way through converting a derelict building into 2 x 1 bed flats for rent to locals, providing 2 new homes.
