The department plans to propose new legislation to help free up brownfield sites for development, while Regentsmead has recently highlighted the issues surrounding SME funding with its Get Britain Building campaign.
James Bloom, CE at Regentsmead, said: “It’s great to be acknowledged and identified as being central to the development finance industry.”
“Part of our cause this year has been to help reach SMEs in order to get Britain building again.
“We look forward to discussing with government officials and helping to tackle these problems head on.”
A key topic of the meeting will be ‘Permission in Principle’, which could act as a precursor or replacement for full planning permission and would allow development projects to start sooner.
On ‘Permission in Principle, James said: “The permitted development scheme has shown that a bit of pragmatism in government can go a long way in contributing towards solving the housing crisis.”
“Hopefully ‘Permission in Principle’ is another step we can take towards this.”
“It has so far proved successful in Scotland and we look forward to debating the intricacies of this proposal in England at DCLG.”
