The London Borough of Merton commissioned Iceni Projects to investigate opportunities and barriers to housing delivery in Merton. A major component of the Study was the engagement of over 2,000 Merton residents to understand their views about what type of housing development they want to see in Merton, where it should be built, and what their priorities are for housing delivery.

This has been undertaken alongside a wider engagement programme through which Iceni has spoken to a range of wider stakeholders – including developers, registered providers, Council officers and Members – to interrogate key issues and factors which influence the planning and development process in Merton.

Digital engagement techniques were used and we secured responses from more renters than home owners and as many young people as older residents.
