About this Event
Welcome to the West Suffolk Housing Developer Forum!
The focus for our November developer forum is affordable housing.
Over the course of the morning, in addition to a general update on the work going on in the team, there will be a presentation from the Strategic Housing Officers, with an opportunity for questions and answers.
The morning session will also host discussion groups focussing on how we can help to support development delivery and affordable housing provision.
Following the morning session there is an opportunity to stay with us for lunch and an affordable housing networking event where registered providers will be on hand, along with the West Suffolk Strategic Housing and Planning Officers.
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to grow your skills and build your professional network. See you at the West Suffolk Developer Forum!
