Second Keynote Speaker now confirmed:
Iain Wright - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Communities and Local Government.
The concept of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) is widely known. They bring the affordable housing and community engagement agendas together, and as such are proving very popular. CLT projects are currently up and running in both rural and urban areas and vary greatly in size.
This year, the national CLT event will focus on the key obstacles that practitioners and communities are encountering in areas such as land, planning & tenure, technical support and finance, as well as looking closely at how the spatial planning and sustainable communities strategies can be brought together.
The conference will also hear from key policy makers including Matthew Taylor MP, who has been commissioned by Gordon Brown to compile a review on the rural economy and affordable housing.
A great deal has been said about CLTs. What is now required is detailed information about how affordable housing can be delivered using this model. There's also a clear demand for examples of best practice, as well as advice on where to turn when technical problems arise. This conference aims to address these needs and attendance is essential for all support agencies and organisations involved in housing and regeneration including:
- Local authorities
- Housing associations
- Registered social landlords
- Development trusts
- Rural community councils
- Planning professionals
- Rural housing enablers
- NDCs
CLTs 2008 will provide a unique networking and learning opportunity with many expert practitioners and policy makers gathered in one place. Alongside the event will be an exhibition of key service providers.
