IED CPD Online: Introduction to Housing

04 Jun 2024 - Online via Zoom

Important - this webinar will run over 3 separate sessions, each running for 90 minutes on the 4th, 5th and 6th June 2024.

This course will be run by IED member, Ivan Tennant. As a specialist in housing, Ivan has expertise in advising local authorities on their housing need and land supply problems, as well as private sector clients on market dynamics to inform masterplanning and planning applications.

This webinar will cover the following:

The housing crisis and the planning system

• to provide the market context in which planning for housing takes place
• to explain how the planning system is meant to function in relation to meeting need for housing and the degree to which it is successful in doing this.

The role of urban economics in planning for housing and housing need

• to show how planning policy might be modified to meet housing need more effectively by paying more attention to market signals
• explain how economic factors have played a part in deciding how an area’s housing need is arrived at within the framework of national policy. We will set out how the proposed changes to the standard method reflect different political interests and perspectives
• to describe the record of delivery and distinction between affordable rented and affordable home ownership products, set out how affordable housing need is calculated and its relationship with overall housing need.

Housing delivery
