Join us for a webinar aimed at inspiring and encouraging more low carbon affordable housing developments across Oxfordshire. We are delighted to introduce a range of expert speakers to showcase exemplar developments, discuss the local and national policy environment and how to meet the challenges for delivery. The event will comprise individual presentations and panel discussions.

Low and zero carbon policies are now a priority across all Oxfordshire councils and the Oxfordshire Growth Board are keen to champion the exchange of good practice and guidance on sustainable, low and zero carbon construction, promoting uptake and setting local expectations.
