Consultation Response: Planning and Affordable Housing for Build to Rent

‘NHBC supports and promotes the excellent work of The Housing Forum, whose breadth of membership, thought-provoking working groups and regional events mean it identifies the real needs of the sector. The promotion of partnership across house building that is central to the Housing Forum’s purpose is key to NHBC, with all elements of the sector having a role in increasing the quality of new housing supply.’

‘With so much knowledge and experience to draw on, and a clear determination to ‘give something back’, joining The Housing Forum gives us not just a better understanding of the market we work in but an opportunity to channel our passion for quality to the greater good of the industry we serve and to shape it’s future.’

‘We joined The Housing Forum to collaborate with other members who are looking to improve the quality of the homes they provide and share experiences of how this can be achieved. We want to challenge existing thinking and practices in the industry about what better really means and could look like.’

‘To join in the conversation with the 150 + established Housing Forum members and to take an active role in the forums which share best practice and address the challenges of the housing sector’

‘As a cross sector body, the Housing Forum is uniquely placed at a time of considerable change within the industry, membership provides the opportunity to influence the government policy development and capitalise on links within the sector to develop ‘best practice’.’

‘We are committed to driving forward our organisation and achieving best practice in all that we do. Forums such as the Housing Forum provide a valuable insight into innovation in the housing sector.’

“The Housing Forum provides an invaluable forum to share best practice and develop new, innovative ideas, at a time when they are needed the most.”

‘Our attendance at the conferences and workshops held by The Housing Forum ensures we keep abreast of changes taking place within the housing sector and offers a great opportunity for networking and keeping in touch with colleagues working in other parts of the country.’
