Consultants to a Campaign Group - Applied Metrics

Problem Statement: A local council is planning to build a rubbish incinerator on a piece of the English countryside that is much loved and used by local residents. A neighbourhood action group that is campaigning against the planned incinerator finds some data on the selling prices of houses in the area. Some of the houses were sold in 2014, before the plans to build the incinerator were announced. Some of the houses were sold in 2018 after the plans had been announced. The group has given the data to us and asked us to look into whether the announcement caused the selling prices of houses near the planned incinerator site to fall.
