CPD + Networking: Alternative Housing Models

Join this in-person event to learn about alternative models of housing delivery and tenure and how they can contribute to addressing the housing crisis. Topics include community-led housing, custom-build and co-housing.

Over the coming decades, tens of thousands of homes will be delivered in Kent and Medway. There is an opportunity to complement more mainstream delivery approaches with alternative housing models, which may offer people more flexibility, customisation, community-building and affordability. Guest speakers will share the opportunities and challenges associated with these models and how the planning system can support them.
