Now that the Government has broken up for summer recess, I’m writing to update you on Future Homes Hub activity to support the new homebuilding community to meet our shared climate, nature and sustainability objectives in line with the Hub’s business plan for 2024/5.

The Hub, with the support of homebuilders from across the UK, has published a digest of case studies and key learnings, which covers topics from air source heat pumps to building envelope and embodied carbon.

Join us on the 4th of December at the QEII Conference Centre, London for this year’s Future Homes Conference 2024: "Future Homes, One Plan: making exemplary development the norm."

We are excited to announce the key sponsors for our upcoming Future Homes Conference 2024 on Wednesday, the 4th of December: NHBC, Lloyds Bank, and Homes England.

It's timely that the launch of the Homes for Nature commitment coincides with Swift Awareness Week.

The Hub caught up with David Robins, Director of Central Technical Service at Places for People on how the sector is approaching changes to carbon emissions and the launch of the new Whole Life Carbon Conventions for New Homes and Tool.

The Future Homes Hub has brought together home builders, water companies, manufacturers, trade, consumer and professional bodies to look at what contribution new development could make to increasing water efficiency in the years ahead.

Here we speak with Alice Davidson, Group Senior Planning Manger at Vistry Group about todays implementation of mandatory biodiversity net gain (BNG) for smaller sites, coinciding with the launch of our BNG Online - in partnership with the Planning Advisory Service.
