WEST PARLEY RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

SURVEY

The South West Regional Assembly (at Exeter ) propose to put about

900 high density houses, including 40% affordable housing, in the

Green Belt fields south of Parley Cross. They are likely to be on the hill

up to and around Dudsbury Rings, and bordering Christchurch Road,

and also in the big field to the east of New Road.

Dorset County Council favours this. After much public debate, East

Dorset District Council now opposes it, and so does the West Parley

Parish Council.

It is very important to know what you, the residents, think.

YES

NO

Do you think that reducing the numbers on the waiting list for housing is such a priority that high density housing should be built on West Parley’s Green Belt fields?

OR

YES

NO

Do you think we should protect the Green Belt and build these houses elsewhere?

And are you concerned by:

YES

NO

Loss of Green Belt as a matter of principle.

West Parley becoming a suburb of Bournemouth.

Inadequate roads, congestion, air pollution.

Insufficient schools, medical & recreational facilities.

PROCEDURE ADOPTED FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS

Over 1500 Survey Forms were delivered to homes in West Parley of which 997 have been returned completed.   This represents a 65% return in terms of the number of households replying.

Counting the “Votes”

In order to be accurate when counting the number of persons deciding “YES” and “NO” to the various questions the following procedure was adopted.

(a)          Forms with 1 name only were counted as 1 vote.

(b)         Forms with 2 names were counted as 2 votes.

(c)          Forms with 3/4 names were counted as 3/4 votes.

(d)         Forms with no names have not been counted.

The total number of persons voting reached 1755.

It should be noted that some residents did not answer all the questions and in a few cases replies were ambiguous and not counted. This accounts for the number of total votes cast being less than the possible maximum number of votes for each question.
