Survey - Not as it first Appears

You may be one of 12,000 households in Chorley Borough who have received a letter and housing survey booklet. It has been sent out by Arc4 consultants who are undertaking the survey on behalf of Gladman - part of the developer Fox Land and Property Developments.

Despite referring on the front cover of the survey to Chorley Borough, this is not a Council survey and has nothing to do with the Council.

The Council can do nothing to prevent such surveys but residents have been contacting the Council about it, expressing concern about the level of personal details requested.

The survey has nothing to do with the Council and completion of the survey is entirely optional.

I will try to add the documents, if I can figure out how to include .pdf files in the blog

  1. Thanks for raising this - I originally thought it was connected to Chorley or Lancashire Councils' public planning activities, but thought it was a little odd that so many financial details were requested.

    The developer's motives seemed a little misleading to be honest (was it for the benefit of the whole community - as suggested - or the developer's own planning and marketing departments?)
