Who we are
The collective voice of industry
The Land, Planning and Development Federation (LPDF) brings together the leading land, housebuilding and commercial development businesses delivering the country’s new homes, workplaces and infrastructure.
Formed in 2018, we began as the voice of the land promotion sector. As our members’ work has grown, across housing, commercial development and the infrastructure that supports both, so has the Federation. Today we represent land promoters, housebuilders and commercial developers big and small, as well as the businesses who support them at every stage along the way, from securing land, achieving planning permission, and delivering great places.
We work in a positive and cooperative way with central and local government towards two principle aims.
Firstly, we make the case for a planning system that meets the country’s housing and employment land needs in full, highlighting all of the social, environmental and economic benefits that doing so will bring.
Secondly, we seek to improve the operating environment of all LPDF members by promoting ways in which the time it takes to determine major planning applications can be reduced.
What we do
Experience to evidence
Our members invest in promoting land through the planning system, turning great ideas into great places. They are committed to making sure that every scheme is shaped in partnership with residents, councils and key stakeholders to respond to local needs and create places that work. That means delivering not just homes and commercial buildings, but the roads, schools, green spaces and community facilities that help places thrive.
The LPDF gives the sector a single, credible voice, turning front-line experience into evidence that government can act on. We bring together the businesses, advisers and partners shaping what the country builds and represent them across Parliament, government and the media.
The research and consultation responses that are at the heart of our work are based upon evidence as to what is happening right now on the ground, helping us work constructively with government to shape policy, remove barriers and get the planning system delivering.
