Over sixty leaders of housing and regeneration attended the inaugural Development Partnership Forum for the North. Development Partnership Forums are a key way of The Housing Forum building influence and promoting collaboration.
Development Partnership Forums bring central and local government and industry together to share best practice and support new entrants into housing development. These Forums are a highly relevant initiative as government looks to accelerate and increase house building and address issues of quality.
Partnerships and learning from one another will be key for the sector to rise to the challenge of increasing the supply of new homes. In particular local authorities wanting to establish Local Housing Companies should learn from others who have set them up and are operating them.
Identifying the objectives shared between different partners will strengthen the business case and shape the structure of any development partnerships. Procurement practice using better specification and collaboration can improve quality and reduce building failures.
