RENEW Call for Evidence
As part of the Northern Housing Consortium’s inquiry into housing-led regeneration – RENEW – we are currently holding an open ‘Call for Evidence’ for stakeholders to contribute any information and insight into housing-led regeneration to inform our work.
This Call for Evidence is open until 27th February 2026 and we welcome contributions from representatives from housing providers, local authorities, combined authorities, developers, charities, think tanks, residents, academia and other stakeholders.
The Call for Evidence will help us:
- Explore what we mean by housing-led regeneration, and how we capture the benefits of regeneration activity.
- Establish the need for housing-led regeneration in the North and how best to communicate this need.
- Understand what can be delivered within the Government’s current policy programme.
- Identify levers, both national policy and as part of the devolution agenda, we believe will allow the North to go further.
We are especially interested in any insights and evidence that you can provide on the scale and quantity of areas identified in need of regeneration, including the number of identified sites and the number of homes within these areas. These issues are specifically investigated in questions 16 and 17 of the Call for Evidence questions.
The Call for Evidence is available here or you can send any relevant information or ask questions by emailing renew@northern-consortium.org.uk.
