We respond to public consultations and issue submissions on issues that matter most to our members.
National and local plan responses
We gather feedback from our members through working groups to develop local plan responses on their behalf.

We develop and deliver leading industry research and insight, that delves deeper into the challenges and opportunities facing the home building industry in Wales.
