Engaging with the development and construction sector to deliver positive growth across the region
The Hertfordshire Infrastructure & Development Board has been established to create a meaningful link between the Growth Board’s constituent local authorities and the development and construction sector, with the primary aim of working in partnership to deliver sustainable economic growth and high quality placemaking.
The HIDB serves as a reference group which provides a forum for more focussed engagement between Growth Board partners, housebuilders (both private and RSL), infrastructure providers, developers, investors and their consultants.
Growth Board partners are looking for members who can provide relevant, regular and constructive market intelligence, feedback and advice on matters concerning regional growth. They will look to members in taking soundings on partner work such as joint and local plans, strategies and emerging policy decisions.
To accelerate delivery of the homes Hertfordshire needs and create beautiful places to live, work and play, HIDB members will work in partnership to break down barriers to sustainable growth, seeking to influence and shape national and regional policy.
Members can expect information about the ongoing work of the Growth Board and greater access to senior officers and members of the Board.
