NSDC Assessing Housing Needs

Newark and Sherwood District Council has a statutory duty to assess the housing needs of its residents. To do this the Council is carrying out a major household survey across the district and is inviting residents to take part. The aim is to understand residents’ housing needs, including the size, type, and tenure of properties to buy and rent.

The survey responses will ensure that the right types and sizes of housing are built across the district.

To ensure positive and representative feedback, a letter and questionnaire is being posted to a large section of randomly selected households across Newark and Sherwood. The survey is open to anyone living in the district.

Any residents not receiving a letter is also encouraged to complete the question online or provide feedback over the phone. The survey is being undertaken by Arc4 on behalf of the Council.

The closing date is Friday 24 April 2026 and residents can have their say at: https://www.nshns2026.co.uk/ or call 0800 612 9133.
