Shownotes

In this episode, we visit Kenilworth Close in Stevenage with Ash Ahmed, Chief Land & Development Officer at Stevenage Borough Council. Ash explains how the council has approached the site not as a passive land seller, but as an active, informed landowner — de-risking the site, re-procuring delivery, and reinvesting value back into affordable housing, sustainability and local services. Part of 1.5M New Homes: The Local Government Challenge.
