Grantchester Parish Council is asking all residents to take part in an important Housing Needs Survey to help shape the future of our village.
The purpose of the survey is to understand whether there is a need for affordable housing for people with a strong local connection to Grantchester.
Every household will receive a paper copy of the survey through the post, along with a Freepost envelope for return. The survey can also be completed online using the link below:
Responses are completely confidential and the survey is being carried out independently by Cambridgeshire ACRE, a charity that supports rural communities. The costs are being covered by South Cambridgeshire District Council, so there is no cost to the parish.
Even if you do not currently have a housing need, your views are still very important. A strong response will help us build a clear picture of local opinion and inform decisions that could benefit Grantchester for generations to come.
Deadline for responses: Friday 26 September 2025
If you need an additional copy of the survey—for example, for a family member who has moved away but wishes to return—please contact Cambridgeshire ACRE directly, russell.moore@cambsacre.org.uk or 01353 865040.
Thank you for taking the time to have your say.
