Retrofit Policy Roundtable Report

Don’t Waste Buildings (DWB) organised a private, invitation-only Retrofit Policy Roundtable which was hosted by the IoD Property and Built Environment Group at the Institute of Directors Grade II listed headquarters, 116 Pall Mall on 27th November 2024.

We gathered a group of about 50 people representing central and local government policymakers, civil servants, professional bodies and cross-industry experts, including leading property developers, financiers, heritage experts, architects, engineers, planners, and volunteers to discuss this important issue and potential solutions.

The discussion, captured in the Retrofit Policy Roundtable Report (click here to download), centred around ideas and proposals to achieve the introduction of policy clarity, sensible regulation and financial incentives around retrofit for the real estate and construction industry.

As the meeting was held under the Chatham House Rule, the report contains some high-level notes about the general discussion, without attributing any comments, as well as some specific ideas that came out of it.

The Report also includes by permission the list of attendees, as well as photos from the event and copies of the discussion slides.
