Planning permission and planning allocation are complex topics and Nathan invited along his friend Rico Wojtulewicz, the head of housing and policy at the National Federation of Builders, for a chat about how the planning process hinders the uptake of low carbon heating technology such as heat pumps.

A fantastic episode where Nathan learns new terms and concepts such as

  • Open Spaces
  • Local Development Order
  • Reserved Matters
  • Biodiversity Net Gain
  • Call for Sights
  • Subdivision of large sites
  • HousingDelivery Test \\xa0

The National Federation is similar yet different to the Home Builders Federation where you will find the big developers such as Barret Homes.

The NFB has around 1200 menbers of which about 400 are exclusively house builders. These are made up of the SME's who like to deliver a good product.\\xa0
