The issue of how to accelerate the delivery of affordable and social housing across Scotland to meet the ever growing need has been at the forefront of the housing sector for years.

During this webinar we look to tackle some of the constraints – discussing and debating with experts and affordable housing developers on what needs to happen, how we can accelerate development, how MMC might play it’s part, what the planning reform may mean and more…
