Providing the UK with a steady supply of housing in the right numbers and right proportions has proved to be an almost intractable problem over the past 20 to 30 years. The cross-party APPG for Housing and Planning was set up to really get to the heart of these housing challenges. Last year, with the Royal Institute for Chartered Surveyors (RICS), it set up a National Housing Taskforce to operate across 12 distinct areas of work, and produce reports covering everything from planning reform to housing associations, and construction skills to mortgage finance. Come and hear the Chair, James Cartlidge MP, outline their conclusions and recommendations from the work done so far.
