📣 Calling public, private, and third-sector landowners and land-owning organisations: community land trusts, developers, housing associations, and estate managers.
The London School of Economics (LSE) is hosting a roundtable event on 5 September 2024, gathering landowners from the public, private, and third sectors to discuss how to get the most “value” from land and how to facilitate landowners’ participation in value creation 🏗 🌾 .
Land is a precious but finite resource. The affordable housing crisis, coupled with the climate and health crises, has brought the land back into the spotlight as a central determining factor in planning decisions. Moreover, the incoming Labour government’s planning agenda raises questions about how we get the best “value” from land.
The roundtable is an open conversation amongst a diverse range of landowners based in the Greater London Area and the Wider South East to determine how we navigate the key tensions surrounding land-use decisions and how we might improve current land management and land value capture mechanisms in England.
➡️ If you are interested in attending, please contact Meg Hennessy at m.hennessy@lse.ac.uk.
The event is part of a wider Oram Fellowship research project at the LSE, investigating the planning system using a values-based approach to explore the tensions surrounding its reform. Find out more about the project here: https://buff.ly/4aN49i6
