Join us for this one-day conference, where we will discuss the future of the UK’s growth agenda. As the Government puts economic expansion front and centre, planning reform is becoming the main lever to deliver 1.5 million homes and accelerate green energy infrastructure. But as housing and infrastructure projects move forward at speed, will the supply chain be ready?
At this conference, we’ll explore how the upcoming Planning & Infrastructure Bill could transform the way developments are approved. But beyond planning policy, we’ll be asking: have we overlooked the critical role of construction materials—the very foundation of everything we build?
We’ll examine why domestic construction aggregates—the UK’s largest material flow—are being depleted faster than they’re replenished. And together, we’ll ask: can the current system support the pace of growth we’re aiming for?
Join RTPI and the MPA as we tackle these big questions. This is your opportunity to be part of the conversation.
