More and better housing: Barker Review of Housing Supply, three years on

In 2004, the Barker Review of Housing Supply made 36 wide-ranging recommendations calling on central and local government, industries and planners to address the problems in Britain’s housing supply. Three years on, the More and Better Homes conference will consider what progress has been made.  Speakers will examine the policy framework currently in place and consider how this should evolve to meet the challenges of the decade ahead,  In particular, delegates will explore what more can be done to improve affordability, reform the planning system and support developers in the provision of high quality, sustainable homes.

Bringing together leading stakeholders from across central, regional, and local government, policy makers and those on the front line of service delivery including developers, housing associations and planning professionals, this is a unique opportunity to have direct dialogue with those leading the debate.

Our Deputy Chief Executive, Margaret Clark, will be speaking on Improving Supply of Affordable Housing in Rural Areas.

Other speakers include Kate Barker and the Rt Hon Ruth Kelly MP.
