Meeting description: We updated the Minister on our key policy concerns related to housing (including planning the ongoing skills shortage facing the sector and the need for greater local authority resourcing). We highlighted the Institute's recent virtual Retrofit Roundtable follow-up meeting and asked for the Minister to commit to sending officials to the next iteration of the virtual event in November. We further outlined developments on our request for Scottish Government to undertake a feasibility study into the demolition levy proposals we recommended in our 'Levelling the playing field not Scotland's built environment' discussion paper and noted that we have made this request to the Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings Active Travel and Tenants' Rights.
