Council principal planning officer, David Marlow, said: "This needs to be a large survey to properly reflect different circumstances across the district and I would ask anyone who may be contacted to contribute to the survey.
"I would assure people that no personal financial information will be sought and that the responses are processed by an independent research company such that individual data is not identifiable."
The results will be published in the new year.
