Annual Housebuilding Event To Take Place In Fife

Construction News Image
An annual housebuilding event is set to take place in Fife later this month with a focus on the theme of 'Realising Opportunity'.

The 'Realising Opportunities – Mid Fife Matters' - Fife Council's 13th House Builders Forum - will be held at the Lochgelly Centre on Tuesday 26 November.

The event is designed to help develop industry partnerships and increase quality housing supply and housing development.

All housebuilding industry sectors are welcome to attend, with the council particularly keen to attract developers out to Fife for the event.

The key note address from Fife Council will focus on the significant capital investment in regeneration and infrastructure within Fife through two City Deals – the Tay Cities Deal and the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal.

The conference programme for 2019 includes contributions from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), whose address follows hot on the heels of Fife Council and the Scottish Government declaring a 'Climate Emergency'.

Industry perspectives will be provided and an overview given of how public policy priorities, including Brexit and Placemaking, will impact on the housing sector.

Discussing further about the event, David Alexander, Fife Council Co-Leader, said: "Anyone associated with Fife's house building industry should attend - house builders, development companies and those working within construction-related professions. It's important for public and private sectors to continue to work together and for all of us to engage well with communities.

"This event will showcase the investment or innovation opportunities within the region and describe the improving market conditions within Mid Fife.

"Mid Fife has readily available sites, good infrastructure including existing transport links and lots of potential. It includes a high quality natural and built environment, and is set to benefit from increased investment. This includes over £70m of funding for a dedicated rail link to serve Levenmouth and the surrounding areas."

Those interested can register to attend this free event by emailing housebuilders.forum@fife.gov.uk.
