With the BBC’s Mark Easton chairing the day, delegates heard speeches on levelling-up, the Northern Housing Monitor, the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and the regulation of social housing along with a range of panel sessions.

Key speakers included: Lord Jim O’Neill – Crossbench Peer and architect of the Northern Powerhouse initiative; Selvin Brown, Director of Net Zero Buildings, Domestic, at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS); Kate Dodsworth, Director of Consumer Regulation at the Regulator for Social Housing; Richard Blakeway, Housing Ombudsman.

The Northern Housing Monitor 2022

The new 2022 Northern Housing Monitor shows the North has a home energy efficiency mountain to climb, with 3.8m poorly insulated homes costing cash-strapped households at least £680 more this year than they would if properly insulated. The report reveals that 3.8m homes across the North fall beneath the key energy efficiency standard of EPC C.
