Planning Futures

Panel: Hannah David (Planning Futures) (Chair); Steve Norris (NIPA); Cllr Lewis Herbert (Leader, Cambridge City Council); Nick Harris (CEO Stonewater); Cllr Johnson Situ (Cabinet Member, Growth, Development and Planning, LB Southwark)

Adequate infrastructure provision is central to sustainable housing delivery. In the UK, however, infrastructure provision is often an afterthought.  Instead of having infrastructure in place upfront, before construction starts, communities and developers are often left in the lurch. This event will explore what Local Authorities and House builders can do to ensure that infrastructure is provided upfront and in time for new and extended settlements. It will also explore how infrastructure can be delivered strategically at the regional level.

*Please note that this event is within the secure zone, and is only open to conference pass holders.

Key note speaker: Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Shadow Spokesperson MHCLG)
