Antony Calvert, Managing Director of CalComms — Politics in Property Development

Antony Calvert is a political communications specialist with deep experience at the intersection of politics, planning, and business. A former councillor and twice parliamentary candidate, Antony brings a rare insider perspective on how political decisions shape the built environment.

At this breakfast, Antony will share his insight on:

  • How national and local political priorities are influencing planning policy and housing delivery
  • What the current government agenda means for SME property developers
  • How to read the political landscape when assessing the viability of a development
  • Practical ways to engage with the planning and political process more effectively

Why This Matters

Politics and property development have always been intertwined — but in the current climate, understanding the political forces at play has never been more important.

From housing targets and planning reform to local authority budgets and infrastructure investment, the decisions made in Westminster and in council chambers directly affect what gets built, where, and when.

This is a conversation every developer, agent, and professional in our network should be part of.
