Two weeks on from London Build, we’re reflecting on the insightful discussions we had with stakeholders, particularly around land finding and navigating the shifting priorities of homes and infrastructure. The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers, and we were fortunate to attend a range of seminars covering the sector's most pressing issues—from the climate crisis and the role of AI, to Building Safety and upcoming updates to the NPPF. 📰Our key takeaway: to achieve success in 2025, the sector must embrace three essential pillars—collaboration, upskilling, and professional accountability. 👉Read our article for more: https://ow.ly/M22W50UjTMC #AI #ClimateChange #BuildingSafety #Sustainability #LondonBuild

As London Build approaches an end, we’re thrilled with the positive response to our land-finding service and its potential to unlock opportunities for land development, vital to the UK. Yesterday’s panel, Delivering the UK’s Housing Targets: Effective Collaboration Between Government and Housebuilders, brought together industry leaders to discuss the challenges in achieving housing goals. 📰Key takeaways included a call for the industry to embrace more Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), sustainable retrofitting, and private sector backing for local authorities to address delays and skill gaps. SME developers face unique hurdles, but collaboration, innovation, and investment were highlighted as critical solutions. While the panel concluded there is no “silver bullet” for the complex challenges our sector faces, collaboration, innovation, and investment are key to unlocking the solutions we need—and they are within reach. We’re pleased that our Planning Engagement Programme is already helping bridge these gaps and support local authorities in delivering better outcomes. 👉To learn more about this multi-faceted programme of local authority planning support, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gwBjstNb London Build was a hub of discussion, on the most pivotal, cutting-edge issues facing our industries and the innovative solutions driving progress. We’re proud to play a key role in this conversation and look forward to sharing more insights in the days and weeks ahead.

This week marks an important milestone for the planning industry as we celebrate World Town Planning Day, a time to reflect on the pivotal role planning plays in shaping our communities.

In line with these goals, this week brought significant developments: a parliamentary inquiry into safety protocols has sparked fresh debate on planning regulations, and Slough Borough Council’s adoption of a new Simplified Planning Zone highlights efforts to streamline processes for efficient urban development.
