Learning at Lunchtime Webinar – Responding to the Future Homes Consultation

Friday 26th January 2024Webinar

Exclusive Housing Forum member-only event

The Future Homes Standard will set out the standards for new housing from 2025, including the requirement that new homes are zero-carbon ready, meaning reliance on heat pumps and heat networks. This lunchtime webinar will examine the Government’s current consultation on the new Future Homes Standard. We will hear from policy and industry experts to help organisations identify how they might want to respond to the consultation and also input into The Housing Forum’s response.

Speakers:

  • Alexis Butterfield, Pollard Thomas Edwards
  • Joe Dowley and Orla Wheeler, DLUHC
  • Oliver Novakovic, Barratt Plc
  • Jack Hulme, Building Safety Regulator
Agenda:
  • The Future Homes Standard: why it is being proposed as it is, and the main ways in which it differs from existing building regs (Oliver Novakovic, The Future Homes Hub)
  • Challenges and opportunities in building to higher environmental standards (Alexis Butterfield, Pollard Thomas Edwards)
  • The consultation and issues where DLUHC would particularly value the views from across the housing sector (Orla Wheeler and Joe Dowley, DLUHC)
  • Q&A
These events are free to members.
