HBF Policy Conference

The goverment has called on the UK housebuilding industry to help achieve the government\'s target of 240,000 homes a year by 2016 - and at the same time it also wants new homes to meet zero carbon standards.

This full day conference is perfectly timed at the beginning of the year to give delegates a detailed and comprehensive overview of the market and policy issues facing the industry to help them make strategic decisions for their companies.

Addressing the dual concerns of building 240,000 homes a year by 2016, and building them to zero carbon standards in the same time frame, the annual HBF Policy Conference featured keynote addresses from Stewart Baseley, HBF’s executive chairman, John Stewart, director of economic affairs for the HBF, and Pete Redfern, Taylor Wimpey’s  group chief executive. Delegates received a comprehensive overview of the market and policy issues facing the industry, helping them to make strategic decisions for their companies. Stewart Baseley commented that the housebuilding industry was  now “living in interesting times” as a result of the challenging market, but was encouraged by the government’s recognition of the crucial role that housebuilding plays. “What we need however, is consistency from government and for it to listen. It must remove the many obstacles that slow down the process of these homes being built.”
