Following member feedback we are running this new, pilot, online Q&A session focusing on housing strategy and planning problems.
Tim Brown, one of our HQN Associates, will respond to pre-submitted questions as well as those raised at the event. You can ask all your tricky questions on housing and planning problems.
For example:
- Should district and unitary councils still be preparing local housing strategies in a period of austerity?
- What is the future role of a housing strategy officer and will it be subsumed within the planning policy function?
- How can the process for deciding on a planning application for new housing be speeded up locally?
- Is there a future for section 106 agreements for delivering affordable housing?
Please send your questions in advance to us at [email protected]
Why you should come to the best practice group:
- Great way to find out what others are doing
- Good, honest and open discussions
- Sharing best practice and ideas with others in similar roles
- Acts as a sense-check about what people are doing or thinking of doing.
We look forward to seeing you there!
