Following the NLA’s recent Sounding Board on the issue, this APPG will bring together experts to update on the wider responses across the city, followed by a discussion on the wider implications for the delivery and management of social housing. Speakers include local authority representatives: Sue Foster, LB Lambeth and Pat Hayes, Be First, Barking & Dagenham (former LB Ealing), alongside experts in fire safety and development: Sam Webb; Adrian Dobson, RIBA; and Sarah Davies, Pocket Living.



The APPG for London’s Planning and Built Environment is chaired by Rupa Huq MP, and was set up by The London Society, New London Architecture and Local Dialogue in October 2015 to debate the key issues facing the changing shape of London. The group brings together MPs and Peers from across the political parties to develop in-depth inquiries on the future shape of the UK capital, drawing together expertise and evidence from the industry, professions, and political parties.
