Council-led Housing Network

Expert panel supports council housing development

The council housing expert panel provides access to design, delivery, and legal experts to support London borough housing teams.

The expert panel is part of Future of London’s Council-led Housing Network (CLHN), offering London boroughs direct access to built environment consultants to help resolve housing development challenges.

The panel is made up of a range of consultants who have a track record in supporting council-led housing delivery. Experts cover a variety of built environment disciplines listed below.

Meet the expert panel

BPTW: architecture and urban design
Iceni Projects: placemaking and town planning
Potter Raper: construction management
Red Loft: development management
TLT: legal aspects of planning, development, and construction

How it works

Each month, experts respond to questions from boroughs and public sector teams working on housing. Sessions are open to all boroughs and anyone in the public sector with an interest in the topic. Questions go via Future of London, and the most relevant expert responds, either one-to-one or as a roundtable if multiple teams share the issue.

Upcoming sessions

Sessions run monthly, 8:30–9:30am, online. We also hold a spare slot each month for last-minute questions. Save the date in your calendar, get in touch, and we’ll follow up with registration details two weeks before.

29 October – Payments in Lieu (PIL)
10 November – Small Site Design Codes
8 December – TBC

12 January – Legal issues in housing delivery
