It is acknowledged that the Council is having to work differently and embrace working with the private sector much more in order to find ways to deliver the objectives.
The objectives include increasing the number of homes, ensuring affordable rented/social housing is available, improving quality in the private rented sector, increasing opportunities for affordable home ownership, and ensuring that there is a wide range of specialist housing.
Another focus will be encouraging further housing development opportunities to come forward in Rotherham's town centre.
The summit begins with opening remarks from Cllr Dominic Beck, Cabinet Member for Housing, before Tom Bell, Assistant Director, Housing and Neighbourhood Services, outlines the Council's vision for housing growth in Rotherham. Jane Davies, Strategic Housing and Investment Service Manager, will then brief delegates on the Council's housing priorities.
The summit continues with presentations on development opportunities in Rotherham. Nick Ward, Housing Growth Manager, will talk about small to medium development opportunities while Tom Bell will give details of large scale opportunities. Zahara Siddique, Housing Enabling Officer, will then tell delegates about the benefits of working with the Council.
The summit concludes with the market place session, which is as a chance for those in the housing field to get together in an informal atmosphere, enable dialogue and facilitate an increase in the levels of house building.
Places are said to be limited for the event which takes place between 1pm to 4.30pm. Registration can be done online here.
