Back to Development Partnership Forums

We will be looking in-depth at the significant need for mixed-use, community-focused regeneration projects within master planning and opportunities for locally-led development.

The Forum will include table networking discussions, topical polls, and panel discussions.

Session One will cover the topics of planning, through design codes, through local councils’ active involvement in standard setting in Southampton and how major regeneration in Barking and Dagenham can be delivered through housing as a catalyst for change. 

Session Two will cover the approach of the unitary Cornwall Council in combining housing and university development whilst restoring a historic core, plan to build and grow to 10,000 homes by 2025 with ambition to continue developing beyond 2025 and how a change of use from industrial to housing is transforming Manchester City Centre. 

 There will be a 45-minute break between sessions one and two – 30 minutes will be for virtual round table delegate networking.

About Development Partnership Forums

Development Partnership Forums run four times a year and focus on the housing development cycle covering government policy, commissioner objectives in housing delivery, quality and standards, financial viability, and common data capture during construction. The purpose is to show how these matters are delivered in partnership and collaboration and bring local and central government and the housing industry together. 

The Housing Forum now has 70 council members from combined authorities, county, unitary and district councils working with our developer, contractor, housing association, consultant, and supplier/manufacturers membership.
