This seminar brought together policymakers and key stakeholders to examine the priorities for the housing sector in Northern Ireland.
Those attending assessed Government priorities for the housing sector in Northern Ireland, including social housing policy.
They examined the latest thinking on tackling current challenges to housing development, overcoming delays in the planning system and the need to make planning policy responsive to changes in market conditions, as well as the impact of poor supply on the housing market.
Delegates also examined the industry’s response to Brexit, including how to overcome the impact on the construction workforce, housing and supply costs, and on regulation.
Further sessions looked at lessons from other jurisdictions in increasing the number of houses being built - particularly through Government initiatives such as the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan and greater collaboration between local authorities and other industry bodies - and possible reform of social housing - including integration with existing communities and promoting the health and well-being of residents.
