Review of the Local Investment Plan 2010-14

1 Summary This report updates the position re the housing investment proposals submitted to the Homes and Communities Agency as part of the Sheffield Local Investment Plan in March 2010. The report specifically focuses on the new housing investment environment and identifies key projects and initiatives to be progressed.

2 What does the report mean for the people of Sheffield?

The report will show residents in the city how the Council and other housing Registered Housing Providers plan to invest in new affordable homes over the next four years to help meet the demand for affordable homes. It will also show how the Council intends to do more to help people into home ownership, reduce the blight of empty homes on their streets and move forward on key regeneration projects.

3 Outcomes and sustainability

The outcomes from this report will be a clear statement by the Council on its strategic city wide and cross tenure approach to housing investment including the priorities of new affordable homes and improving conditions and sustainability in the private housing sector.

4 The Local Investment Plan 2010-14

(i) On 24 March 2010 the Council approved a Local Investment Plan 2010-14 submission to the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The Council entered into a Local Investment Agreement for the first year of that period, 2010/11, with the HCA. The proposals for the remaining three years, 2011/12- 2013/14 were to be the subject of a further agreement after the Comprehensive Spending Review due in October 2010, when future levels of funds available to the HCA would be made clear by Government.

(ii) A copy of the 2010-14 submission can be seen on the Council’s website at Your City Council-Council meetings-Cabinet-Agenda March 24 2010. Appendix 2 to the document showing a list of the projects previously proposed for funding in the 2011-14 period is attached to this report at Appendix A.

5 The Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) October 2010

(i) Between March 2010 and October 2010 the national Government changed, and the CSR report reflected the new Government’s approach to investment and its clear priority to reduce public spending so as to reduce the national deficit. There were a number of very significant changes made to the previous funding streams for housing investment. A summary of the changes is set out at Appendix B.

(ii) In summary, the HCA no longer has capital funds with which to support housing investment projects. It retains a reduced National Affordable Housing Programme, which provides social housing grant for the delivery of new affordable homes, and modest national budgets for Empty Homes and Mortgage Support schemes. This change to the funds available from the

1 HCA means that the majority of the schemes previously proposed for the 2011-14 period in the Local Investment Plan are now no longer fundable.

(iii) It is now no longer essential for the Council to have a Local Investment Agreement with the HCA for the current CSR period, but the March 2010 Cabinet Report required any substantial changes to the LIP to be brought back to Cabinet for consideration. The LIP requires major revision for the period to 2015, hence this report has been prepared.

(iv) The housing investment proposals now set out in Appendix C show the June 2011 position regarding projects moving forward. Over the coming months, and after the completion of the current Housing Review, it is planned to devise a new investment strategy for housing, taking into account the new opportunities which have arisen, for example the New Homes Bonus, and developing new ways of working which are less reliant on external grant from Government and make the most of the Council’s relationships with partners including Registered Providers and housing developers.

(v) Appendix C does not show all the investment in Council housing, which was not part of the original LIP, and which can be seen in the 2010/11 Capital Programme report approved at Cabinet on 23 February 2011.

6 A revised Local Investment Plan 2011-15

6.1 Going forward the Local Investment Plan aims to set out a city wide, cross tenure strategy for investment in housing, targeting activity to meet the specific needs of different parts of the city. This strategy will be shaped by the current Housing Review, and will link to the developing plans for investment in new infrastructure via the Community Infrastructure Levy and work by the Council to review the use of all its assets across the city.

These initiatives will combine to form a key part of the Council’s Place Making activity, supporting both community sustainability and economic growth.

6.2 The original Local Investment Plan was structured around three themes: Growth and Renewal, Existing Homes and Affordability and Accessibility. The revised Local Investment Plan (LIP) now includes the following schemes under each of these themes (see Appendix C):

6.3 Growth and Renewal This part of the LIP included proposals for delivering new homes, improving district and local centres, completing major regeneration projects and improving neighbourhood green spaces and streets.

(i) District and Local Centres A series of district and local centre improvements were proposed for HCA funding. No new resources will now be available from the HCA, but in 2011/12 the Council has identified £250,000 of its own resources to fund improvements at centres at Chapeltown, , , and , and work is well underway with local residents and businesses to agree how these resources are best used.

2 In addition work will be completing in 2011/12 at Tinsley centre and Chaucer New Square, using the remaining Housing Market Renewal resources and s106 monies allocated to these projects.

(ii) Housing development sites Works were proposed to improve the condition, marketability and value of a range of cleared housing sites. In the absence of HCA capital works on these sites cannot proceed.

(iii) Scowerdons, Weaklands and Newstead project Resources had been sought from the HCA to fund the remaining property acquisitions, rehousing costs and demolitions at this project. In the absence of HCA capital, the Council is reviewing all options for funding the remainder of this scheme. A separate report on these options will be considered at Cabinet in the summer of 2011.

(iv) Park Hill The gap funding required to maintain the redevelopment of the early phases of new homes is still expected from the HCA at £632,000. However, funds sought by the Council to pay for the final phase of acquisitions and the rehousing of 98 residents, and the decommissioning of the services will not now be available from the HCA. The Council is exploring the options for meeting these costs and these options will be the subject of a separate report to Cabinet in the summer of 2011.

(v) Arbourthorne Fields housing redevelopment project Phase 1 of this project completed in the early part of 2011/12, with the residents of 176 homes now relocated to new homes. Funds are expected from the HCA for a bid made by Sanctuary and supported by the Council to build 45 new affordable homes for older people on the site of these former properties.

However, funds of £10.9m sought by the Council to pay for phases 2 and 3 of this project, including the acquisition of a further 53 properties, rehousing of residents and demolition of 246 homes will not now be available from the HCA. The Council is exploring the options for this project, and these options will be the subject of a separate report to Cabinet in the summer of 2011.

(vi) Completing existing Housing Market Renewal projects Some projects funded by the former Housing Market Renewal programme will complete during 2011/12. £2.685m of HMR funds have been rolled over from 2010/11 and will be spent on completing projects at Skinnerthorpe Road, Arbourthorne Fields Phase 1, Tinsley Centre, Chaucer New Square, Manor Fields Gateway and Catherine Street.

(vii) Parks and open spaces, streetscene and liveability No new resources will be available from the HCA for the previously proposed schemes, and in the absence of HCA capital these schemes cannot proceed.

(viii) City centre infrastructure The HCA previously had capital resources to invest in infrastructure projects. The original LIP included proposals for investment in sustainable infrastructure in the city centre, at Digital Campus Phase 3 and the train station. As no capital will now be available from the HCA, the Council has been working on other ways of moving these works forward.

3 This Station Infrastructure project will specifically address a number of infrastructure improvements required to improve the attractiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the main railway station and transport interchange in South . Several separate but linked initiatives are required to improve its current functioning and to adapt to anticipated change, including development of the key Sheaf Square or Digital Campus 3 sites (DC3). They can be summarised into 4 main elements:  New electric sub-station  Drop-off and access improvements for Station and DC3  Flood defence works for the station and DC3 ()  A cycle hub for station and connecting routes A significant proportion of the projected funding required has already been secured and an Expression of Interest has now been submitted to the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for the major part of the balance. The Sevenstone project will move ahead significantly over the next 4 years following pro-active steps by the Council in investing £10m into the early years of the project to facilitate the large investment by private sector partners. The estimated pace of investment is shown in Appendix C although this may vary over the period.

6.4 The Regional Growth Fund In the Comprehensive Spending Review 2010 the funds formerly for the Housing Market Renewal programme were subsumed into the new Regional Growth Fund (RGF). The RGF is being focused on directly supporting economic growth and job creation, and led strongly by the private sector.

It has proved difficult to re-cast existing housing regeneration schemes to fit those requirements. A Business Growth bid being developed by the Council for RGF Round 2 may include a modest strand of investment in district and local centres, as hosts for business premises and supply chains.

6.5 Existing Homes This part of the LIP included proposals for schemes to improve the condition and energy efficiency of privately owned homes, to support people to remain living independently at home and to bring more empty homes back into use. It also included commitments by the HCA to support the completion of Decent Homes works for those properties which transferred from the Council to new landlords as per the tenants’ choice.

(i) Improving privately owned homes The majority of the proposals in the original LIP are no longer fundable due to the lack of HCA capital. This means that proposals to invest more in improving housing conditions in the private rented sector, offering more small grants to older low income home owners and loans to low income owners to improve their homes cannot now proceed.

The Council is using some of its own resources in 2011/12 (£50,000) to fund small grants to owners, and the Landlords for Excellence scheme is continuing. Some funds for Disabled Facilities Grants will continue to come from Government as in previous years, with the Council topping up this budget with its own funds where it is able. However, in the absence of new HCA capital, and after the scrapping of the Regional Housing Board’s Single

4 Capital Pot, no new monies have been identified to offer affordable property improvement loans in the city.

(ii) Empty Homes The Council is developing a new approach to bringing more empty homes back into use. A submission is being made to the HCA for funds of £900,000 from the £100m national fund for empty homes initiatives over the next three years. These funds would be used to match funds being sought for new Empty Homes initiatives from the Council’s new Local Growth Fund over the next six years, which has been created using the New Homes Bonus income now being received from Government.

These initiatives will proactively work with owners of empty homes to get them back into use as quickly as possible, and in some cases will provide affordable loans to owners who are struggling to afford the necessary repairs and maintenance that must take place before their homes can be let. Where a loan is provided to an owner, the property will be brought back into use as affordable rented housing. In total a target of 80 empty homes per year back into use has been set for these initiatives from 2012/13 onwards.

The New Homes Bonus income received by the Council is negatively affected by the numbers of empty homes, so bringing them back into use helps to maintain that income stream to the Council.

(iii) Affordable Warmth and Carbon Reduction initiatives The Council had sought to secure increased investment in schemes targeting these issues. However, no new funds will be available from the HCA.

In 2011/12 the Council has maintained the Affordable Warmth project, funding it from its own resources matched with CERT funds, albeit at a lower level than in previous years. This means that the project will now take longer to make its way around the city. The CERT funds will cease to be available at the end of 2012.

Other funding options, including those from new schemes such as the Green Deal, Eco Obligation and the Renewable Heat Incentive are being examined as details becomes available, as going forward there new initiatives should help the Council deliver new schemes improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

(iv) Decent Homes improvements for transferred homes The HCA funds expected for these works have been confirmed at the expected level, £16.55m in total, and Decent Homes improvements should be completed by Acis, Great Places and Pennine as planned.

(v) The Decent Homes programme for Council housing The investment planned by the Council in its Decent Homes programme was shown in the 2010 LIP for completeness. This investment continues as per the commitments made in the October 2009 Cabinet Report which extended the programme to March 2014. £25.28m of the Council’s own resources are being invested in this programme in 2011/12.

6.6 Affordability and accessibility Under the new delivery regime for affordable housing, grant rates are much lower and housing associations (now known as Registered Providers) are

5 required to borrow up to 80% of the cost of building new homes. This compares with approx 40-50% previously. The additional borrowing required is to be serviced by the higher rents, the new “affordable rent”, which will be charged on these homes, of up to 80% of private market rent levels.

In addition, Registered Providers (RP) who receive grant from the HCA in future will be required to convert some of their existing social rented tenancies which are re-let to the new affordable rent tenancies, increasing revenue for the RP to help it pay back its new higher borrowing, but also increasing rent costs for tenants. It is not yet clear how many RP tenancies in Sheffield will be converted in this way, but indicative figures across the Sheffield City Region suggest that 1 in 4 re-lets going forward may be converted to the new tenancy.

Registered Providers have had to review their approach to developing new rented and low cost home ownership homes to reflect this new model and have recently submitted their new scheme proposals to the HCA. There are a set of firm scheme proposals, included in Appendix C and a set of indicative proposals requiring further joint work.

(i) The firm proposals: With one exception, the Council supports the firm scheme proposals, meeting as they do the priorities identified in our previous LIP document. They support:  on-going housing regeneration in some priority locations such as Scowerdons, Weakland and Newstead, Wybourn, Arbourthorne and Page Hall  the Sheffield Housing Company sites at Falstaff and Norfolk Park  filling gaps in certain types of housing provision, including more family homes and bungalows

The Council does not support the bid from the National Association of Almshouses to refurbish the George Woofindin Almshouses at Hunters Bar. There is a suitable alternative option of transfer to a housing association, which does not require public subsidy. The Trustees of the almshouses are keen to pursue that option if the NAA bid is rejected.

The proposed firm schemes would deliver 329 new homes over the next four years at the new “affordable rent” level. This compares with 636 delivered in the three years 2008-11 under the previous delivery model.

(ii) The indicative proposals: New Supported housing – the Council’s four main priority requirements for new supported housing are: a replacement hostel for young homeless people; a core and cluster scheme for people with mental health problems; the replacement of a domestic abuse refuge and a scheme for adults with a complex range of support needs.Sanctuary, Guinness Northern Counties and HA have submitted indicative proposals totalling 79 units which would provide the necessary scope to meet these priority needs. Further work is required to develop these schemes, including the identification of suitable sites.Sanctuary have also submitted an indicative proposal for 75 units as a first phase of older persons housing at Stocksbridge, which is a LIP priority.

6 There are also proposals for a further 117 units on sites and schemes that have been discussed with officers, giving a total of 271 indicative units that meet Council priorities.

In addition, there are other more speculative indicative proposals from various providers, which are not specific to particular sites or even to the city, only to the city region. It is difficult to predict how many of these may eventually come to fruition in Sheffield.

(iii) First Buy FirstBuy is the successor to Homebuy Direct. It is a scheme funded jointly by housebuilders and the HCA offering first time buyers equity loans of up to 20% of the purchase price of new properties. It helps to sustain new housing development whilst also providing affordable home ownership.

The HCA has received bids from developers of sites in Parson Cross, Handsworth, and Wincobank. These are for a total of 62 FirstBuy units. The Council supports all the bids

As the entire bidding and funding regime for new affordable housing is new in 2011, both the Council and Registered Providers are still learning how it will operate and assessing new issues and opportunities which arise.

6.7 Investment in housing going forward The schemes shown in Appendix C are a current summary of the Council’s investment in housing growth, regeneration, condition and the provision of new affordable homes. Some of the figures included in the Appendix are currently estimates, as the detail of schemes is still being developed and agreed, and spend over the four year period may vary due to issues on site etc. As set out in section 6.1, this June 2011 position is the starting point for the development of a new investment strategy, using new tools and new ways of working to deliver better homes for residents.

7 Financial Implications (i) The scale of capital resources for housing investment available from the HCA going forward will be greatly reduced. In tandem with the removal of other external funding sources such as the Regional Single Capital Pot, the Housing Growth Fund, the Local Authority New Build programme, Kickstart etc, the scale of future investment in housing growth, renewal, condition and new affordable homes will be similarly reduced. Overall there will be significantly less grant available for housing investment and new ways of delivering projects will need to be developed.

(ii) Any Council resources which are prioritised to progress initiatives mentioned in this report will be approved via the Council’s usual financial processes. The Council does not have sufficient resources to fund all the schemes previously funded by external grant regimes.

(iii) The financial implications for major regeneration projects at SWaN, Park Hill and Arbourthorne Fields will be dealt with in separate cabinet reports.

(iv) SCC expenditure incurred through the delivery of the LIP will be fully integrated and approved as part of the Authority's Capital Programme.

7 8 Human Resource implications (i) There are no human resource issues arising directly from this report. The reduction in the scale of housing investment going forward has been reflected in a reduction in the staff teams working on regeneration, but this has been dealt with separately.

(ii) The extent to which the Council is successful in drawing in replacement housing investment resources will influence the future size of staff teams working on delivery.

9 Legal implications There are no legal implications arising directly from this report. It is no longer necessary for the Council to enter into a Local Investment Agreement with the HCA for 2011-15.

Any legal issues arising from the options appraisal process for major regeneration schemes will be dealt with in separate reports.

10 Equality of Opportunity Implications The equality impacts of the continuing investment set out in the revised LIP are universally positive regardless of age, sex, race, faith, disability, sexuality, etc. However, each individual project will consider it’s own equality impacts in greater detail via individual EIAs at appropriate stages of each project.

The reductions made in Government funding do not appear to have affected any specific group more badly than others.

11 Alternative options considered? (i) The revisions made to the Local Investment Plan have been necessary due to changes imposed by Government on the HCA. The Council is not able to affect these decisions.

(ii) In an environment of severely reduced resources the Council has had to prioritise the use of its own resources to those smaller number of schemes it judges to be of the highest priority. These include:  Projects mid-way through completion where residents are living through physical change in their neighbourhoods  Maintaining progress on providing new affordable homes  Improving the supply of homes by bringing more empty homes back into use  Maintaining investment in priority city centre regeneration projects  Maintaining modest investment in improving district centres to help communities to be sustainable and support the economy  Improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions at privately owned homes  Some support for low income home owners  Supporting the Sheffield Housing Company

12 Reasons for recommendations

12.1 The programme of investment set out in the revised LIP is recommended as the best option bearing in mind the much reduced resources available compared with previous years. Used as set out above, the resources will meet as many as possible of the commitments made to tenants, residents

8 and partner organisations. However, tenants and residents involved in the redevelopment schemes at Scowerdons, Newstead and Weaklands, Park Hill and Arbourthorne Fields currently face uncertainty whilst the Council does its utmost to find all available options for replacement funding to maintain progress on these schemes.

12.2 The new housing investment funding landscape is still developing, and the Council is working to identify and make the most of all new opportunities to bring resources into the city to improve homes. Over time it is hoped that additional schemes will enter the LIP, subject to individual approval.

13 Carbon Pricing

13.1 The Local Investment Plan must also recognise the important contribution it can make to reducing carbon emissions through investment in infrastructure and fabric that will reduce energy consumption from transport and buildings. Good design should contribute to reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the City's carbon reduction targets and commitments to low carbon, decentralised energy. By doing this we can help Sheffield improve its competitiveness by reducing long terms costs of rising energy prices and the taxation applied to carbon emissions through the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) set at £12 per tonne of carbon (2011). By doing so, Sheffield can be a more cost-effective location for investment by the private sector and will help the competitiveness of the City.

13.2 Each project will develop its own identified Carbon price as part of its subsequent approval process.

14 Recommendations

That Cabinet: 1. notes the scale of the change made to the housing investment funds available from the Homes and Communities Agency since March 2010, with Homes and Communities Agency resources now estimated to be £70.8m over the period 2011-15, a four year period, as opposed to the 2010 bid submission for £134.4m over three years. 2. supports the revised set of projects for which the Council now expects or is seeking funds from the HCA to 2015, including the development by Registered Provider partners of new affordable housing, as set out in Appendix C 3. endorses the city wide, cross tenure strategic approach to housing investment going forward which targets activities to the specific needs of each area. 4. notes the work underway on option appraisals for projects at Arbourthorne Fields, Park Hill and Scowerdons, Weaklands and Newstead which will be the subject of separate cabinet reports

The Housing Market Renewal programme:  Ended in March 2011  Any future HMR-type investment in housing and communities to be funded from the new Regional Growth Fund

The Housing Growth Fund:  Ended in March 2011  Any future housing growth activity to be funded via the new Regional Growth Fund

The Regional Housing Board Single Capital Pot:  Ended in March 2011.  Monies for Regional Loans project and Save and Warm South Yorkshire energy efficiency project ended  Loss of £7.5m which was part of Decent Homes funding plan to 2013/14

A new Regional Growth Fund announced:  £1.4bn nationally available over 3 years  Linked to the new Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs)  Now includes any resources for housing regeneration schemes and growing housing supply, where these can be shown to contribute to economic growth and job creation.

A new New Homes Bonus scheme announced:  New initiative to encourage communities to host housing growth  Govt matches extra Council tax payments arising from new homes and homes brought back into use in each of 6 years from 2011/12 onwards  First payment of £2m has been received by the city.

Decent Homes:  Funds of £2.1bn nationally announced for investment in decent homes by Councils, ALMOs and housing associations (current DH backlog funding requirement estimated nationally at £3.2bn)
