A new panel of industry leaders join us to discuss the key issues raised in our white paper, including the barriers to housebuilding and how the government and private sector can work together to solve them.  Zoning to help fix the planning system, improving land data, creating a ‘grey belt’ and the need for developers to secure smarter finance were top of the agenda, alongside innovation around net zero and where the government should be investing in technology.
