Colchester, Braintree and Chelmsford councils have jointly been undertaking a Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) and a Housing Needs Survey (HNS).  We are seeking to better understand how much new market housing and affordable housing is needed across the three districts.

Because this work is being carried out jointly, all the documents relating to this study have been placed on one website and the following link will take you to the relevant page on Colchester Borough Council's website.

We are currently seeking involvement across various organisations so please monitor this site for regular updates.
