1. Project Ideas

1 Cycle route to join Waterlooville with A27 cycle route
2 Sign posted walks on existing footpaths
3 Or no more homes
4 We should make more use of the New Pavilion – never open
5 The occasional                          along the footpaths
6  tba


2 Notes


1 We need to explain for the benefit of those whose opinions were negative e.g 19 votes against social housing, where Denmead is either constrained by legislation / government decree, or has good reason to put aside negative votes. Cycle route to join Waterlooville with A27 cycle route
2 First question difficult to interpret – we perhaps needed to scope the questions e.g separate Open/social housing categories from types of dwelling.

3 Conclusions (1st pass)

1. Significant opinion in favour open market housing, but shared equity should not be ignored
2. Votes for warden assisted sheltered and care homes were very high
3. Location of development – large majority for lots of small development (78%) whereas very small vote for 2 or 3 large sites and only 17% wanted several under 50 dwellings per site.
4. Preference was for modern design with traditional features
5. We did not explain in this question of the ‘income generation’ that worthwhile funds would only become available for a significant single development, so should be cautious of using this data and how do we ask the question but show the potential implications of voting for ‘income generation’ (see Q4 above)
