How do you balance growth, community, and place?

Cllr Jake Short, Chair of Housing, Economy & Business at the London Borough of Sutton, explains how the borough’s Local Plan keeps new development under control — meeting housing targets while protecting Sutton’s green, suburban character.


Jake shares how clear communication, collaboration and realistic engagement with residents help councils deliver homes and maintain trust.
