FOREWORD BY LIZ CAMERON, EXECUTIVE MEMBER FOR BUSINESS & THE ECONOMY

As the Strategic Housing Authority for our city, Glasgow City Council’s vision is that people will want to live in Glasgow, and that they will have a choice of affordable, high-quality homes across a range of tenures. This annual review describes how we and our Registered Social Landlord partners performed in delivering affordable homes in the financial year 2013/14 through our Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP).

This Review highlights where houses were built, how much they cost, what type of homes were provided, and how this contributed to meeting housing need in the city. It also shows the level of funding for medical adaptations to existing homes, and highlights our large- scale housing led regeneration projects.

Our large scale housing led regeneration projects, continue to be delivered at pace, across the city, dramatically improving the physical, social and economic environment in some of the city’s most deprived neighbourhoods. In particular 2013/14 has seen the completion of the 2014 Athletes’ Village, which is already heralded as an exemplar in Urban Regeneration, bringing 400 much needed affordable homes, which excel in energy efficiency standards. Demand for the first 300 homes for sale has also been staggering, bringing both new and former residents back into the East End. In Sighthill, despite the city losing out to Buenos Aires to host the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, the council and it’s Transforming Communities : Glasgow partners (GHA and Scottish Government) have committed to delivering Sighthill TRA some 20 years ahead of schedule. 141 Homes for Rent by GHA started on site in January 2014, with a further 600 mixed tenure homes included in the wider masterplan Planning Application in Principle, which was approved by the council in April 2014.

Delivering our investment priorities this year has been extremely challenging. At the start of the year, subsidy levels were set at £42k per unit (3P Equivalent) and this along with other restrictive guidelines such as payment on completion allied with other wider financial issues facing RSL’s, meant that many of our Housing Association and Cooperative Partners were finding it difficult to take forward further development activity.

In April 2013, the council were delighted to be asked to participate in the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Subsidy Working Group to review the current guidelines and subsidy levels applied nationally. As the country’s largest TMDF authority, the council played an important part in contributing to new draft AHSP Guidelines produced by the group. The new AHSP Guidelines included revised subsidy levels of £58k per unit (3P Equivalent) and staged payment arrangements being re introduced.

2 These improved guidelines have undoubtedly increased the levels of activity in affordable housing investment across the city. The Council successfully invested £54.954m in grant in 2013/14. 700 new and improved homes were approved in 2013/14 which has contributed to a total of £80m of investment in the construction industry and related businesses in Glasgow.

However, there are still barriers to affordable housing development and we will continue to work with our colleagues in the Scottish Government, RSLs and other partners to facilitate further development across the city and to ensure we deliver the quantity and quality of homes which our citizens need.

However, this increase has only applied to Social Rented units and no increased subsidy has been applied to Mid Market Rent or NSSE units, which many RSLs are still experiencing difficulty in delivering. This is a particular issue for Glasgow, where tenure diversification remains a strategic priority in many areas.

The increased subsidy levels for social housing have however assisted with an increase in the quality of the projects being delivered in the AHSP. More projects are now achieving a Silver Standard in sustainability as per Section 7 of the 2011 Building Regulations.

Also, this year has seen an increase of 15% in Energy ‘A’ Rated projects delivered. This has been a consequence of additional subsidy available for these projects.

14 FEATURED PROJECT: COMMONWEALTH GAMES ATHLETES’ VILLAGE – CITY LEGACY

15 The Commonwealth Games Athletes’ Village in Dalmarnock will provide accommodation for up to 6,500 athletes and officials in July and August 2014. As a legacy, it will provide 700 homes for rent and sale post games. 300 of these will be for outright sale, and 400 for social rent through three Housing Associations (Thenue HA, West of Scotland HA and GHA). The majority of the homes (624 units) are two, three and four bedroom family houses, with gardens and front & back doors. A 120 bed care home for elderly residents is also located at the site.

In January 2014 the contractor, City Legacy (a consortium including housebuilders CCG, Crudens and McTaggart & Mickel), handed over the site to the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee. This was achieved on programme and on budget. The Organising Committee now has the responsibility of fitting out the housing and care home for the athletes’ use.

After the Games, the housing will be retrofitted for permanent residential use, and will be available for sale and rent from January 2015. City Legacy report unprecedented levels of sales, with almost all of the available housing for sale now reserved. Similarly, the housing associations report very strong interest, particularly for family-sized homes.

The housing, and the entire Village site, has been designed and constructed to the highest environmental and building standards. Outstanding thermal performance and insulation has ensured that the development meets the Gold Sustainability Standard of the Scottish Building Standards, and BREEAM Ecohomes at ‘Excellent’. The on-site Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant will provide heating and hot water, and is significantly more efficient than conventional heating systems, and there are photovoltaic panels on all houses. Electric car- charging points are also being installed. The SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) manages surface water run off into an attractive central pond and canal.

16

17 Reflecting this focus on quality, the Village has already received a number of prestigious industry awards:

• Best Green Initiative – Homes for Scotland Awards 2013 • Best Sustainable Development – Glasgow Business Awards 2013 • Best Regeneration Project – Herald Property Awards 2013 • Regeneration Project of the Year – Scottish Property Awards 2014 • Best Regeneration Project – RICS (Scotland) Awards 2014

The outcome of several other awards is awaited, and further recognition is expected once the Village is formally completed after the retrofit process.

As with any successful housing regeneration project, the housing has not been developed in isolation. The Village benefits from new and improved transport links, state-of-art sports facilities on its doorstep, and a new community centre adjacent to the Village is nearing completion. Post-Games, a footbridge over the River Clyde will link the Village to the Cuningar Loop Riverside Woodland Park. The Village will provide a fantastic residential environment and a fitting legacy from the Games, and is already acting as a catalyst in the redevelopment and renaissance of Glasgow’s East End, with further significant housing developments in the area either planned or in progress.

The handover of the Village to the Organising Committee marked the most significant milestone yet for the Village. It reflects several years of work by Housing and Regeneration staff (together with support from colleagues in Planning and Building Control, Project Management & Design, Economic Development, LES, Legal Services and other sections), who have led on delivering the Village. The success of the Village - design, procurement, and delivery - will be used to inform other large- scale housing regeneration projects including current and future TRAs.

18 Featured Project: Centurion Way - Partick Housing Association

19

This £14m development was formed on part of an old railway siding in Yorkhill Park and lies adjacent to Yorkhill Hospital. The development provides 87 new build flats and consists of four blocks providing a variety of affordable housing options. Two blocks provide homes for social rent, one block provides shared equity homes and one block provides homes for mid market rent. This is the first mid market rented project funded via Glasgow’s AHSP. Eight of the social rented flats are also designed for wheelchair user households.

The development benefits from exceptionally high standards of thermal insulation which has been designed to maximise passive solar gain. The combined heating and power system will reduce heating and water costs for tenants. A fabric first approach to sustainability has been adopted with all the flats orientated to maximise passive solar gain as well as river views. Energy costs and carbon emissions are minimised by means of a combined heat and power district heating system. Architecturally, the project is designed to maximise the benefits of its parkland location and makes a bold and attractive addition to the West End built environment. Centurion Way has been selected as one of the UK’s top affordable housing developments by Inside Housing Magazine and has won the Centurian Way - Kitchen Interior International Property Award (UK) for best multi-unit architecture. It has also recently received a commendation in the residential category at the RICS Scotland Awards.

20 FEATURED PROJECT: HOLMLEA COURT - HOME SCOTLAND

21

This development is located at the junction of Cathcart Road and Holmlea Road. The site was previously used as a Cinema, Bingo Hall and petrol station but had recently lain vacant for a number of years. The development is a unique partnership arrangement between AS Homes, Cathcart & District Housing Association and Home Scotland Housing Association.

The development commenced on site in April 2012 and completed in January 2014, providing a mixture of 66 new build flats and houses. 26 units are for Mid Market Rent and 40 units for social rent, 5 of these units are for particular needs tenants and are suitable for wheelchairs users.

The development is located within the popular Cathcart area of the city and demand for both the social rented and mid market rented units has been unprecedented. The project has recently been shortlisted by Homes For Scotland for a prestigious award in the category of ‘Best Partnership Development’.

Total development costs for this project are in the region of £8.6m. The council provided grant funding for the project of £3.5m from the Innovation and Investment Fund.
