Affordability Review seminars
The Affordability Review will require extensive and intensive consultation with key stakeholders and the public.
Sir John met with a wide range of stakeholders such as:
- Politicians,
- Lenders,
- Developers,
- Planners,

He also met with representatives from other parts of the UK and ROI to learn from their experiences.
In addition, eight seminars were held across Northern Ireland over the last three months with key individuals involved or interested in the delivery of housing and related services.
