Delwood Residents Association

There was very good engagement with our survey where 144 households voted out of an eligible register of 235 members. This represented a 61% turnout. The survey was conducted between 21st and 29th of May 2025, and asked three key questions about drone services.

Survey Results Summary

Question 1: Support for Drone Delivery Services

• 47% (67 residents) support drone delivery services across Delwood
• 53% (77 residents) oppose drone delivery services

Question 2: Limiting Drone Services

• 63% (90 residents) were in favour of limiting drone services
• 37% (54 residents) were against limiting drone services

Question 3: Future Planning Applications

• 69% (99 residents) were in favour of taking a stance on future drone delivery planning applications
• 31% (45 residents) were not in favour of taking a stance on future planning applications

Key Findings

Mixed Support Among Drone Supporters
Even among the 67 residents who support drone services:

• 16 residents still want the services limited
• 25 residents want a stance on future planning applications
• 51 residents don’t want current services limited
• 42 residents don’t want a stance on future planning applications

Near Full Agreement by Opposers to Drone Services
Among the 77 residents who oppose drone services:

• 74 residents want both service limitations and a stance on future planning
• Only 3 residents don’t want a limit on drone services or a stance on future planning

Conclusion

While opinions are differing on drone services there is a consensus among those who voted that they want their Association to have a voice in how these services operate. Nearly two-thirds want current services limited, and more than two-thirds want the Association taking a stance on future planning applications. These results suggest that some residents are concerned about the delivery of drone services regardless of whether they personally use or support drone delivery services.
