The Future of House Building in the South-East

Green Issues Communications is inviting the development industry and community representatives to take part in a discussion focusing on the proposed development of over 200,000 new homes in the south east, as announced by John Prescott last month in the Communities Plan. The seminars will present the viewpoints of a number of key authorities on development issues within both local communities and the industry as a whole.

There are still places left on the series of seminars, taking place at the key areas affected by the government's plans.
