SHP as Place-Shaper

Local authorities work in producing housing
strategies has been a lever for economic and
social change in many areas, reflecting a shift
towards ensuring local housing markets meet local
demands, rather than a narrower focus on directly
providing social housing. This strategic housing
role is at the heart of achieving social,
economic and environmental objectives that shape
a community and create a sense of place

Some food for thought!!

• How is the SHP shaping the BSF agenda?
• How is the SHP shaping Forward Planning?
• How is the SHP empowering residents, planners and
  private landlords to help deliver decent homes in
  sustainable neighbourhoods?
