Torver 2006 Housing Needs Survey
Key Findings
The Survey
We posted out 124 survey forms to the parishioners of Torver (100%). 31 households returned their completed forms. 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.

Methodology
The Manager of CRHT had a meeting with Coniston Parish Council, who were going to coordinate
the distribution of survey forms for Torver, with Torver Parish Council. 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.
Details from www.landreg.gov.uk/propertyprice/interactive
Open Market Prices
House Prices for houses for sale on the open market were obtained on the 6th April 2006 from right
move and can be found at the end of the report.
Details from www.rightmove.co.uk

Part 1 - You and your household - Additional Comments:
Potential Sites: I am not sure, but they need to be carefully thought out and appropriate for the village and
environment.
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.
