As part of what it called the green housing revolution, in 2019 the Government released a green standard to cut carbon emissions by up to 80% for all new homes from 2025. Unveiled by the Housing Secretary the Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP, the Future Homes Standard aim to promote and support the target of net zero fro all uk homes.

As part of this endeavour the Future Homes Task Force was set up in 2020 and announced the multi-million pound Delivery Hub to manage the home building industry’s drive to meet the environmental targets set out by Government. The Task Force includes representatives from all the sectors including government, house building, utility provision, material suppliers and environmental groups.

The brief of the Task force was direct the construction and fabric efficiency of tomorrow’s new homes, how they are powered and how they take account of and impact on the environment within which they sit. Meeting these high-level ambitions, in a realistic and deliverable way will require the coordination of numerous issues and regulatory requirements. The brief included the development of a master-plan, to sequence and prioritise work-streams across the sector, including its supply chains, founded on the main environmental targets articulated by the government – on Net Zero, the natural environment, resources, water and air quality.

One of the first objectives of the Task Force was to establish a fully funded Delivery Hub to implement the master-plan and drive forward work on a day to day basis. Its full-time team will coordinate and facilitate activity. The Hub develop planning for the broad range of interlinked climate, natural environment and resource targets that will need to be met to meet the ultimate objective of net zero.

Housing Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP said at the time: “This Government is improving building standards and overhauling our outdated planning system as a priority. By putting communities in control of what is built locally we will deliver better designed, more sustainable buildings and the homes that are needed for the next generation.

“I look forward to seeing the recommendations and plans of the Future Homes Task Force later this year to support this exciting agenda as we work towards a cleaner, greener and more beautiful built environment.”

= Statement from the Hub =

The Hubs website states

In September 2020, the Future Homes Task Force was set up to develop a long-term delivery plan for the sector in line with the Government’s legally binding net zero and wider environmental targets. The Delivery Plan is divided into four areas with a goal and roadmap for each area. The Delivery plan also set out the specification for the Hub.

The Future Homes Hub has been established to facilitate the collaboration needed within and beyond the new homes sector to help meet the climate and environmental challenges ahead.

== The goals are: ==

* High-quality homes that are zero carbon ready and sustainable.
* Places and developments that are consistently low carbon, nature-rich, resilient, healthy, well designed and beautiful by 2025
* Production and construction methods that are net zero and sustainable by 2050 with substantial progress by 2025 and 2030.
* Businesses that are recognised and rewarded for net zero and sustainability performance

The Future Homes Hub has now been set up as a non-profit making company limited by guarantee. We are an independent organisation bringing together the homebuilding sector with the wider circle of supply chain, infrastructure, finance and government organisations that need to collaborate. Over 40 of the largest homebuilders committed and many other related organisations committed to working together through the Hub to achieve the goals on publication of the plan.

The business of the Future Homes Hub, laid out in the governing document is to “support the achievement of the aims and objectives set by the Future Homes Task Force in accordance with the Delivery Plan”.

== In practice this means several types of activity: ==

* Developing technical solutions for regulatory changes.
* Collaborating sector-wide to overcome barriers to successful implementation, for example on skills and supply chain.
* Developing industry led proposals for current and future policy challenges
* Creating the basis for measuring sustainability performance capturing the value of improving performance.
* Communicating with all parts of the homebuilding sector, especially SME's
* Facilitating sharing and learning across the sector.

We do not deliver directly, our modus operandi is to bring together the right people at the right time to provide the right answers to the right questions. Sometimes our work will be preparing the sector for known changes in regulation and sometimes it will be helping to determine how future challenges can be overcome successfully. We will partner with relevant organisations where sensible to help create a joined-up landscape of support.

The immediate scope of the Hub’s work is currently England, though we are keen to work closely with other UK nations. Colleagues in both Wales and Scotland have expressed interest to collaborate with the Hub.

This business plan translates the longer-term Delivery Plan into a programme of work for the next three years to support the sector.
