Partnership are supporting long term trends that indicate continued growth with the second highest level of registrations in a decade, although registrations are declining in London.
The subject matter and discussion was partnership and the discussions opened with Graham Sibley providing an NHBC perspective on the current state of play in terms of new starts and registrations.
Long term trends indicate continued growth with the second highest level of registrations in a decade, although there has been some decline in numbers of registrations in London.
There followed a discussion of the challenges faced by the local authorities using traditional models of regeneration within the current political landscape in London.
Examples were provided where the capacity was not yet developed, but also where due to the appetite of the local authority to deliver their own programme, capacity had been built and homes were being delivered, for example in Newham and Barking and Dagenham.
Housing Associations already have the financial capacity for development and this provides an opportunity for local authorities to work in partnership to deliver new homes. Partnership with the private sector, particularly through joint-ventures, can deliver new homes by utilising the competences of all organisations involved.
