We welcomed over 130 London Property Alliance members and stakeholders to Savill’s Marcol House for a breakfast seminar exploring our upcoming report – Retrofit First, Not Retrofit Only; Future-proofing national policy to support sustainable development.
Produced in collaboration with Savills, the report addresses how changes to national policy and regulation can provide a better framework to assess the complex issues raised by the choice between retrofit and redevelopment and deliver sustainable development.
