Planning Update: The Grey Belt (1 Year On),

A year on from the government’s pledge to build 1.5 million homes in 5 years, CBRE provide an update on the “Grey Belt” policy, 12 months after its conception. What is the Grey Belt? How has it changed planning? And are more homes actually being built?

This month we are joined by CBRE’s Birmingham planning team, including our very own committee member Luke Cottrell, as well as Louisa Ward, Archie Kimberly, and Holly Evans; to explore how the government’s flagship policy has influenced the planning landscape one year on, alongside partaking in a interactive quiz!

This event is sponsored by CBRE who have kindly provided the breakfast and refreshments.
