shaping a place, creating a community

Key fjndings: The draft principles

What people agreed with

• ‘Generally sounds more thought through

than planning of 1960s Wor.ng area.’

• ‘The principles seem sound enough.’
• ‘Sounds sensible so far.’
• ‘Principles are broad and hard to disagree

with.’

• ‘It is good to have an underlying framework

to the development.’

• ‘At this stage the strategy is in line with

agreeing with the three Es of sustainability.’

• ‘Generally agree with all 10 principles.’

What people disagreed with

• ‘Principle 7 – it is difficult to

envisage what significant employment provision will be available on a housing estate.’

• ‘No men.on of infrastructure

and its impact on Basingstoke.’

• ‘Principle 5 – I think we need

to be careful about this. Car traffic will be a problem.’

• ‘Lots of words are not

definable.’

Key fjndings: The draft principles

Suggested addi?ons

buyers.’

• ‘Develop a balanced community.’

Suggested amendments

Key fjndings: Explainer

• Respondents were asked to rank their response to our ques.ons

in order of preference: Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree and Strongly Disagree.

• For the purposes of this analysis, ‘Strongly Agree’ and ‘Agree’

were amalgamated and ‘Strongly Disagree’ and ‘Disagree’ were

• amalgamated. ‘Neutral’ remained untouched.
• The following quan.ta.ve feedback sets out the most common

response to the ques.on.

• For example, if 38% disagree with a ques9on, this does not

necessarily mean the remaining 62% agree. 33% may have marked down ‘Neutral’ and the remaining 29% may have agreed. Therefore, ‘38% disagree’ was the most common response.
