A council spokesman said: “You may have concerns about whether you would be able to afford a new home or you may live in a home that’s too large or small for your needs.

“It may be that you have a family member who wants to move out and start living by themselves but hasn’t yet been able to do so. Equally, you may be happy in your current home but we would still like to hear from you.

“The information we gather from this survey will feed into a project which will allow the council to establish the level of housing need in our area.

“The evidence will support policies to be set out in the East Riding Local Plan which is currently being updated and will provide valuable evidence when planning applications are reviewed with reference to the type, tenure and general mix of a housing development.

“The survey can be accessed by the weblink www.tinyurl.com/22HNSS.

“Responses will be anonymous, but we do ask for data about where you currently live to help us to see where the need for homes is.”
