Overview
Housing is at the forefront of Labour’s policies, with a comprehensive overhaul of the planning system that introduces new mandatory targets for councils, aimed at significantly boosting housing supply across the UK. To meet the government's ambitious target of 1.5 million new homes, the active participation of local authorities and housing associations is crucial.
This valuable Strategic Housing Supply and Planning event provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the UK's planning system. It equips you with the critical knowledge and strategic skills necessary to navigate the complexities of planning processes. Given the mandate for every area in the UK to develop local housing plans, this event is essential for overcoming common barriers to housing delivery and streamlining planning procedures.
