Our Proposed Homes for the Future Strategy brings together two distinct elements: our clear ambition for building zero carbon homes and the region's proven capabilities in advanced manufacturing.
Using the latest digital technologies and innovations in construction, we aim to build more energy efficient, warmer, healthier, sustainable homes while creating brand new business, investment, and job opportunities.
We are determined to tackle the region's declared climate emergency and meet our commitment to be carbon neutral by 2041. With Homes for the Future, we have the opportunity to drive an increased supply of new homes, support existing businesses and create new ones, develop skills and improve the quality of new homes. By ensuring that our green ambition is embedded into all new construction projects from the start, we will be making our new homes liveable, sustainable, and resilient to the climate crisis.
This is a journey... a journey to ensure that the transition to zero carbon, climate resilient construction is achievable and accessible across the construction industry. This is a journey with our Future Homes Taskforce, key stakeholders, developers, housing associations, and boards, as well as our communities. I invite you to work with us and I promise that we will be there to support you every step of the way.
