KHG Conference 2025 – Workshops – Register your interest

Here are some details of workshops at the upcoming Kent Housing Group Conference.

Infrastructure First and Accelerating Delivery – Focusing on infrastructure investment in Kent and Medway, how can we ensure new developments are not built in isolation? What are the benefits of developing an investment protocol to help overcome the challenges of delivery new housing developments?

Tackling the Challenges of Affordability and Choice – With high housing costs and poor affordability in many areas across Kent and Medway, a significant number of people are unable to buy or rent. This workshop explores key indicators of the need for affordable housing throughout the sub-region.

The Renters’ Rights Bill – Hear from Jonathan Hulley, Partner and Head of Social Housing at Birketts LLP, as he examines how significant changes including abolishing ‘no-fault’ evictions and removing fixed-term tenancies may have left some landlords debating the impact of extra administration and costs, including legal costs.

Safer and Efficient Homes – The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) and Decent Homes standards are being updated. What does this mean for tenants and landlords of privately and socially rented homes?

Housing, Health and Wellbeing – How can high-quality housing positively impact residents’ physical and mental health? How can we improve standards in the owner-occupied and small landlord sectors, mental health housing strategies and how to address health and social care for people experiencing homelessness.
