Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Downing Funding Foundations: Episode 4
Q: What is the main factor currently constraining London's housing market, and what can be done to improve it?
The main constraint is the difficulty in forecasting exit from developments due to slow sales, which makes developers consider alternative exits like build-to-rent or co-living; improvements hinge on more favorable market conditions, clearer planning timelines, and a viable exit strategy with better alignment between private capital and regulatory timelines.
Downing Funding Foundations: Episode One
Q: Can you tell us how Greencore Homes began and what core vision drives it today?
Greencore Homes started about 13 years ago, founded by Ian Pritchett and Martin Pike to push sustainable housing using natural materials and a closed timber panel system. The company then partnered with a catalyst fund to fund growth, and the leadership, including Katie, joined to scale production and deliver 10,000 homes by 2035 with a focus on environmental sustainability and better building practices.
Downing Funding Foundations: Episode three
Q: How do you see the balance between public policy aims and private sector incentives affecting London housing delivery?
Profit and funding constraints are central; without enough capital and credible returns, schemes stall. A more supportive funding framework, streamlined approvals, and a return to targeted grants could unlock more development, especially for affordable housing and social infrastructure.
Downing Funding Foundations: Episode three
Q: From your perspective, what are the main challenges in the planning system today and how can they be improved?
The system is highly discretionary and political at multiple levels, which creates inconsistency. Improvements lie in clarifying guidance, reducing excessive reporting, and focusing on outcome-driven planning rather than process-heavy requirements, while ensuring funding and cross-subsidy mechanisms support housing delivery.
