Owners of land with
development potential know only too well that getting land developed for
housing is a complex business. There are many stages in what can be a very long
term process requiring input from professionals on planning, design, legal,
financial and other aspects.
Getting planners and the local
community onside is key. Good design and communications strategy are important
but there are also other issues such as the legalities of option agreements and
getting the right balance of affordable units in the development without
compromising its viability.
The CLA successfully lobbies
on rural planning and housing policy. As
well as influencing the current NPPF, the CLA also published in 2013 ‘Tackling
the Housing Crisis in England’ which set out the CLA’s vision for securing and
increasing housing supply in England.
This report identified the lack of ability to bring land forward for
development as a key factor behind long-term housing undersupply in rural
areas. However, there is an increasing need to create developments where the
needs of people and the community are incorporated into the design. These
principles are central to the recent Prince’s Foundation for Building Community
“Landowner’s Guide to Good Development”.
As well as covering the
various stages in bringing forward development schemes, this seminar will cover
good community design and consultation principles, explore ways of financing
affordable housing and provide an opportunity to hear from CLA members who are
‘bucking the trend’ with their own housing projects. Context will be provided
through an update on existing housing policy, forthcoming legislation and an
overview of what lobbying CLA is doing to help landowners bring rural land
forward for much needed housing development.

• The Princes Trust Foundation for Building Community
