It is a detailed exploration of the policy mechanisms that can be used by local authorities to specify and ensure social value outcomes. Such outcomes include jobs and economic growth, health and wellbeing, environmental sustainability and strength of community.<\/p>\n<p>John Alker, director of Policy and Places at UKGBC said: \u201cEver since Government introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/social-value-act-information-and-resources\/social-value-act-information-and-resources\">Social Value Act<\/a> a few years ago, this topic has been rising up the agenda of both local authorities and private sector. However, there is still a long way to go before we fully grasp the opportunities presented by the concept, particularly in relation to development and regeneration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the acute funding pressures faced by local authorities, as well as the growing interest in social impact investing and socially responsible business, there are strong drivers for public and private sector to work together to maximise the benefits from new development to local communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The document is available in UKGBC\u2019s popular presentation resource format which allows local authorities to easily incorporate the organisation\u2019s research into their own material. As a live resource, the guidance document will be updated periodically to reflect policy changes, latest thinking and new case studies. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/ukgbc-net-zero-carbon-buildings\/49621\/\">UKGBC is welcoming approaches<\/a> from local authorities and other organisations wishing to contribute to the development of this resource.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKGBC has released its latest guidance document, detailing how local authorities can help ensure that new construction and property development in their area positively communities by delivering social value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[277,908,276,94828,593],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-54775","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-built-environment","8":"tag-economy","9":"tag-government","10":"tag-social-value","11":"tag-uk-green-building-council"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Social Value guidance for local authorities released<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"UKGBC has released its latest guidance document, detailing how local authorities can help ensure that new construction delivers social value\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/social-value-local-authorities\/54775\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Social Value guidance for local authorities released\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"UKGBC has released its latest guidance document, detailing how local authorities can help ensure that new construction delivers social value\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/social-value-local-authorities\/54775\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
