It has been roughly 2 months since the new labour government was voted into power. During this period, we have already been provided with a consultation on the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) reversing changes made to it by the previous government. The consultation pledges 1.5 million new homes over the next 5 years to tackle what Angela Rayner describes as ‘the most acute housing-crisis in living memory’. The NPPF consultation period will close on 24 September 2024, with aims for adoption at the end of the year.
In the ever-evolving world of commercial real estate, one acronym is gaining significant traction: ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance. These three pillars are increasingly shaping the way commercial developments are planned, constructed, and managed.
As both investors and occupiers place greater emphasis on sustainability, social impact, and governance practices, enhancing ESG credentials has become a priority for developers.
A recent case about invasive Japanese knotweed has changed the way in which alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is handled. Following the case, relevant parts of the law that previous only allowed courts to encourage ADR have been formally amended, and from October 2024 judges will be able to stop court proceedings and compel parties to engage in ADR.
We know that our people are our greatest asset and that providing them with a good environment, challenging work and supporting their personal development is vital to our success.
