Instructions for completing this Questionnaire
The Questionnaire is divided into 2 Parts!
PART 1.
Household section
This part of the Questionnaire contains questions which collect background
information about households in the village, such as how many people there
are, where they live, and in what type of accommodation.
One household representative over the age of 18 should answer these questions
on behalf of the whole household. Other than youth questions, where
specified. The questions ask for only factual information and are designed to
make answering easy by asking the respondent to tick a box or enter a number.
What is a Parish Plan?
Over the last few years, more and more communities have been involved in work to improve the qual-
ity of life in their area. Using local people and local initiative, they have discovered that it is those
decisions taken in their village or parish, which can be most responsive to local need. However, in
order to make those decisions they require up to date and accurate information on conditions, views and lifestyles in their area. A Parish Plan is a useful tool with which to obtain such information and it has been tried and tested
over the last 20 years. Well over 1500 communities in England and Wales have completed surveys (or
Village Appraisals' to give it its official name) to take stock of the facts and opinions about their village, parish or small town.
What use is it?
Essentially, a Village Appraisal is a comprehensive survey carried out by the community for the com-
munity. Through a locally compiled questionnaire distributed to each household, it offers local people
the opportunity to comment on issues that affect their daily life. The information gathered from the
survey can be used both to celebrate local distinctiveness and put together community action plans which can influence the way in which a village moves forward. It assists with setting priorities and
helps to target limited resources. It has been used by villages with around 150 residents and more re-
cently by towns of 3000 or more. Low cost housing schemes, good neighbour groups, transport schemes, newsletters, resource centres and work with low income families are just some of the local benefits which have come about as the
result of carrying out a Village Appraisal.

Section 9: Housing & the Built Environment.
In 2008, Salisbury District Council proposed a major and dispro-portionate extension of the Parish, suggesting that some 3,100 houses be built on land along the A30, opposite The Pheasant Hotel. The counter argument from the Parish prevailed and the plans were dropped, but we must accept that some expansion of housing stock is both necessary and inevitable, over the next 20 years. This would add perhaps 80/90 dwellings within the Parish. With this in mind, the questions below are designed to assist in formulating proposals that are acceptable to the residents of the Parish.
