Councils, as @LGAcomms told @themjcouk, support more home building! Our recommendations to @luhc's recent planning consultation:
✅ Speed up quality proposals
✅ Boost % of affordable homes
✅ Discourage land banking
Communities deserve better. 🏘️🔨#PlanningReform
🏠🚧 #Councils are often framed as obstructors to housebuilding, but it's important to remember they often receive inappropriate proposals and have limited powers to incentivize what's truly needed in their areas. #HousingChallenges #localgov
SEC was pleased to participate in @Localis's excellent London & SE regional roundtable on "Level Measures". It's vital for central & local govt leaders to collaborate closely on delivering public services while advancing placemaking & levelling up.
Brilliant to have @BrineMP, @EconomicHeart, @SolentFreeport, @southeastlep, @NATS, and GBR with @SallyAnn1066 as Chair online this morning for the second South East APPG inquiry session on transport infrastructure, supporting Britain's trade and growth.
South East Councils is at @SolentUni today for @policysouth's #CentralSouthConference23. Insightful discussions so far around place, growth & levelling up.
South East Councils met with @LDN_gov @eelga @londoncouncils @luhc today in an incredibly forward-thinking dialogue to collaborate on shared challenges facing the Wider South East. Affordable housing, infrastructure, and levelling up reforms were all covered.
