Work on land reform and housing - public interest led development, land assembly, rural housing and placemaking.
We are pleased to be contributing to this initiative and delivering a webinar on Monday focused on tackling housing shortages in rural areas. Supporting planners, both experienced and aspiring, to explore innovative approaches to housing delivery is essential to addressing the housing emergency 🏘
If you have any suggestions on how PDR could appropriately be expanded to support the delivery of the right homes in the right places, or if you would like to discuss the matter with the team. Please get in touch and send your responses by 14 February 2025.

🌍 Land is our most valuable natural resource. But the way we use and value land is changing to meet the twin challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, whilst supporting our vital farming and forestry sectors. This rapid change calls for innovative and responsive approaches to how we own, manage, and use land, balancing needs and ambitions with delivering wide public, community, and private value. Research by @CLESThinkDo for the Commission looked at various governance models in Scotland and abroad, offering valuable lessons for land governance. The report, and summary that looks at lessons for Scottish land reform, are both available now on our website. landcommission.gov.scot/news-events/ne…
