People are invited to learn more about the delivery of low carbon affordable housing across Oxfordshire.
Organised by the Oxfordshire Growth Board, a special webinar will bring together expert speakers who will showcase exemplar developments, discuss local and national policy and how to meet the challenges for delivery.
It is hoped the virtual event, taking place between 11am and 1pm on Wednesday 9 December, will inspire and encourage more low carbon affordable housing developments across the county.
Low and zero carbon policies are now a priority across all Oxfordshire councils and the Oxfordshire Growth Board is keen to champion the exchange of good practice and guidance on sustainable, low and zero carbon construction, promoting uptake and setting local expectations.
The event will comprise individual presentations and panel discussions, and will be chaired by Councillor Susan Brown, Leader of Oxford City Council.
Cllr Brown said: “This event promises to be a great opportunity to learn more about how all Oxfordshire’s councils can help boost the delivery of low carbon affordable housing developments.
“I’d encourage registered housing providers, developers, and anyone with an interest in delivering low carbon homes to register and attend.”
Speakers include:
- Andrew Turnbull, Norwich City Council on the Goldsmith Street Passivhaus development
- Clara Bagenal George, Elementa Consulting
- David Scrimgeour and Kim Swallowe, Build! at Cherwell District Council: Low carbon affordable housing: Local case study, policy and delivery
- Debbie Haynes, Oxford City Council: Moving to a low carbon future
- Ian Pritchett, Greencore Construction
- Professor Rajat Gupta, Oxford Brookes University
Information relating to the Oxfordshire Housing and Growth Deal, and how this can support the delivery of affordable low carbon housing, will also be provided.
