Reading Time: < 1 minute

Hosted by ULN editor George Sell

The RBT Housing commission describes the UK housing shortage as a ‘permacrisis’. How can the living sector play its part in a joined-up solution to the issue?

The session will address:

  • Defining the housing crisis – what is needed?
  • The NPPF updates – what will they achieve?
  • What is the living sector’s current contribution to affordable homes through planning obligations?
  • Normalising multi-tenure developments
  • The affordability issue in BTR and PBSA – a new wave of amenity light assets?
  • Ramping up reuse – office and retail conversions
  • Addressing the exodus of HMOs from the rental market – an institutional opportunity?
  • Coliving and its potential to address a gap in the market
  • The senior market – providing alternatives to encourage older people to downsize
  • New models for affordable and social home delivery
  • A state of mind – helping people get comfortable with renting
