Freedom to Build? A mid-year review of planning and housing delivery
Join us for this excellent mid-year opportunity to discuss the delivery housing. This event will cater to everyone involved in the delivery of housing, offering viewpoints from both the public and private sector, to provide a holistic understanding of the latest challenges and best practices.
At the time of the event, the implications of the Government’s proposed planning reforms will be clear, and the Labour Government will be nearer its 1-year anniversary, providing a well-timed opportunity to discuss planning in the context of delivering new homes at all scales. This event will not solely focus on national policy changes and case studies but also delve into the regional and local level, highlighting the key challenges and opportunities for the North East.
