Explore housing development learning events for local government

A series of events for local government to support the delivery of housing-led developments and regeneration.

Applies to England

Our Local Government Capacity Centre has set up a Summer Learning Programme to support local authorities and partners and help develop high quality homes and communities. These events are developed by Homes England with contributions from a range of government, public and private sector partners.

Summer Learning Programme schedule: 1 July to 12 July 2024

Local government officers and other partners can learn more about these free knowledge-sharing sessions from 1 July to 12 July 2024, and book their places once registration links are opened in May 2024.

Recordings of the 16 sessions from the recent Winter Learning Programme (22 January to 2 February 2024) will be added to YouTube by the end of April 2024.

Homes England has also developed the following resources to further support with homebuilding, placemaking and regeneration:

  • Housing Information Hub – a comprehensive index that signposts local authorities and other housing providers to guidance and tools relating to homebuilding, placemaking and regeneration.

  • Capacity Analysis Tool – a tool designed for local authorities and other organisations to help assess current housing delivery and regeneration skills and capacity, and to identify steps to help improve this capacity.

  • New Homes Fact Sheets – a series of key facts and figures related to new housing development and regeneration, created to support conversations with local communities.

For recordings of over 65 previous learning programme sessions see Homes England’s YouTube playlist Local Government Resources.
