Examining prospects for 2018, the Government’s Industrial Strategy, the draft New London Plan, smaller builders and news partnership models.
Partnerships and learning from one another will be key for the sector to rise to the challenge of increasing the supply of new homes. The sector needs to recognise and promote the contribution all the different players can make.
While central and local Government has provided policies and funding to help SME house builders, these need to be designed in a way that they can be easily accessed and used by such companies. Central and local government ambitions to increase new housing supply will also require adequately resourced planning departments.
The sector needs to take the opportunities by using all the funding the Government has made available and to increase the supply of new homes. It needs to work collaboratively to increase its influence with Government to benefit from funding.
