The annual built environment conference
Tuesday 28 June 2011
This year, the Department of Built Environment's conference will focus on the challenges and opportunities posed by the increasing number of empty commercial and residential premises, which are found all across the UK.
Key speakers from premise owners, developers, public authorities, regulators and professional advisers - together with our own specialists - will share their experiences of, and techniques for successfully managing this pressing issue. The presentations will examine
- the policy context
- managing stalled development schemes
- the impact of the empty rates regime
- loss exposure and insurer requirements
- the health of the office rental market
- associated fire, health and safety issues
- seeing business opportunities within these challenges
