APPENDIX 1 - Draft Borough Investment Plan.doc 3 of 87 Introduction 1.0 This Borough Investment Plan (BIP) has been prepared specifically for the “Single Conversation” process being introduced by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The GLA is taking a keen interest in the content of this document in preparation for its future adoption of the HCA functions in London and there is an expectation of alignment with the Mayor’s Plans and Strategies. 2.0 The BIP is intended to assist in the attraction of public and private investment for housing and regeneration schemes. It brings together cross borough investment priorities in one document to give context to housing and regeneration schemes. It covers a four year period but will be refreshed annually. 3.0 In the Corporate Plan for 2009 - 2011 the HCA's stated national goals are: • To accelerate the delivery of housing growth; • To secure the delivery of new affordable housing and ensure existing social rented stock is made decent; • To accelerate the regeneration of underperforming areas and the renewal of deteriorating estates; and • To ensure high standards of design and to embed sustainability, with a legacy of skills, knowledge and capacity. 4.0 The HCA’s priorities for London are: • To partner with the boroughs, the private sector and the affordable housing sector to deliver well-designed homes that people can afford and wish to live in • To support boroughs in the effective delivery of the Decent Homes programme and tackling growing waiting lists for social rented housing • To work with partners to support housing delivery through the development of brownfield sites • To support delivery of the Thames Gateway and the London 2012 Olympics. 5.0 Hillingdon can contribute to the above priorities in a number of ways. We have locally and regionally strategic housing and regeneration sites (see Appendix A). RAF Uxbridge is an example of a mixed use site where inward investment can provide a catalyst for delivering priorities, primarily housing, but also jobs, infrastructure, leisure and education facilities. Investment in these sites will assist in delivering local, regional and national ambitions. 6.0 Through the planning system, and working with the Local Strategic Partnership, the Council is supporting developments in the Heathrow Opportunity Area for
