This Localis fringe, sponsored by Countryside Properties, will ask what it will take to build beautiful homes and harmonious and prosperous communities today that will last into the future.

Planning reforms must recognize the social and economic value of housing to supporting a wider national recovery that is rooted in place.  How can we leverage the planning reforms to ensure long-term investment in ‘stewardship’ models to build not just beautiful new homes, but also create prosperous communities that will endure for many generations to come?

We will ask;

• How can national and local government, developers and communities and the new Office for Place work together to ensure we build not just beautiful homes but prosperous communities that will last the test of time?
• How do we harness today's agenda for planning reform and harness a housing-led recovery to also build green, confident and prosperous communities that are set to endure for future generations?
• How can we best incentivize long-term investment and concern in place and deliver the benefits of a ‘stewardship model’ to meet the needs of government and councils, developers and communities alike?  

Speakers will include:

• Victoria Hills, Chief Executive, The Royal Town Planning Institute
• Cllr James Jamieson, Chairman, Local Government Association
• Cllr David Simmonds MP, Chairman, All Party Parliamentary Group on Housing and Planning
• Andrew Taylor, Group Planning Director, Countryside Properties
• Jonathan Werran, Chief Executive, Localis (chair)

Please note that entrance for this session will be from Princess Street.

Doors will open at 08:30 a.m. for refreshments with the main event starting at 09:00 a.m.
