Our strategy: Better places with better outcomes for everyone

This strategy sets out how we’re going to build on the successes we’ve seen since our inception in 2019. It describes the future we want to see and explains the role we’ll play in getting there, by working towards these key outcomes:

1. An enabling environment for prioritising health and wellbeing

The built environment industry, local and national government will actively prioritise health and wellbeing outcomes in the way homes and neighbourhoods are planned, designed, developed and operated.

2. Engaged and equitable communities

Communities will have more opportunities to inform decision-making about the places where they live at both a neighbourhood and regional level.

3. An evidence-based planning system

The built environment industry and government will use more health and wellbeing evidence in the planning and design of homes and places.

4. A stewardship plan for long term social impact in every place

More local authorities, developers and housing associations will establish stewardship plans to ensure a lasting positive impact for homes and neighbourhoods.

5. Consistent evaluation of long term health and wellbeing outcomes

The built environment industry will move towards consistent evaluation of health and wellbeing outcomes, with evaluation of outcomes considered the norm.

6. A resilient organisation

We will develop as a resilient organisation that people want to work with and for.
