Webinar: An Absence of Acres – The Shortage of Land for Development

Thank you for joining us virtually on Thursday 17 November where our panel of experts explored our latest planning and development insights.

There is an acute problem with insufficient land being allocated for development across England. Local Plan delays, environmental factors, and wider sentiment toward new development have contributed to a steady decline in consented land in recent years.

With further pressure on infrastructure requirements, and the prospect of a shift away from top-down housing delivery targets, can we really expect an up-turn on land availability? How does this all fit with economic growth and levelling up? And to what extent can our housing need be met through brownfield land alone?

Watch the webinar below to find out what our panel had to say.
