Page 2
in Renfrewshire’s Local Housing Strategy and supports the delivery of a range of affordable housing projects across Renfrewshire. 3.2 Through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme, the Scottish Government allocates grant funding (known as Resource Planning Assumptions) to local authority areas. 3.3 The Scottish Government has confirmed the level of funding allocated to Renfrewshire to support the delivery of affordable homes for the three-year period to 2026, as set out below: • £17.140M in grant support for the financial year 2023/24; • £17.200M in grant support for the financial year 2024/25; and • £17.485M in grant support for the financial year 2025/26 3.4 Resource Planning Assumptions support the delivery of new affordable homes across Renfrewshire by providing grant support at a benchmark rates. The Scottish Government benchmark grant rates were recently increased to £83,584 for new Council homes and £91,182 for new social rented homes delivered by housing association partners. 3.5 Additional grant funding is also available on top of the grant benchmark rates, where affordable housing developers include design features related to zero emissions; the installation of automatic fire suppression systems; electric vehicle charging points; space for home working; provision of balconies and digital connectivity. 4. Draft Renfrewshire Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024 – 2029 4.1 The range of housing projects contained in the draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan vary in size and location across Renfrewshire. The draft plan highlights a healthy and ambitious affordable housing programme being delivered by the Council and Housing Associations which is supported by the Scottish Government. 4.2 In accordance with current Scottish Government guidance, the draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024 to 2029 takes a flexible approach to programme management. By being ambitious and including a degree of over- programming, affordable housing projects can be brought forward within the programme, taking advantage of any additional resources that may become available to Renfrewshire over the financial year. 4.3 The draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan also contains funding provision for newbuild Council housing in the Housing Regeneration and Renewal areas where newbuild housing is proposed. ___________________________________________________________________

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 3 Renfrewshire’s Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan The Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) sets out a national framework to provide affordable homes across Scotland. The Scottish Government allocate grant funding to Councils who then direct this support towards the development of predominantly new affordable homes, delivered by either the Council or one of its housing association partners. As part of the Affordable Housing Supply Programme process, local authorities are required to prepare a Strategic Housing Investment Plan each year. Renfrewshire’s draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan identifies affordable housing projects which are to be supported by Scottish Government funding and sets out how this investment will be targeted to meet the strategic priorities of Renfrewshire’s Local Housing Strategy. Projects included within the draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan aim to support the delivery of the right homes in the right places and assist in providing safe, warm and energy efficient homes that meet people’s housing needs and contribute to the creation of sustainable thriving communities. The Scottish Government’s Housing Programme The Scottish Government published their ‘Housing to 2040 Strategy’ in March 2021 with the strategy setting out the Scottish Government’s approach to increasing the supply of homes across all tenures in the period to 2040. In terms of affordable housing, the ‘Housing to 2040 Strategy’ includes a target to provide 110,000 affordable homes by 2032 with at least 70% of these homes to be developed for social rent. The ambitious ‘Housing to 2040 Strategy’ requires ongoing partnership working between the Council, affordable housing providers, private developers, the construction industry and the Scottish Government. Continued financial support in terms of future funding commitments from the Scottish Government and an understanding of rising development and tender costs will also be essential to support the ongoing delivery of new affordable homes across Renfrewshire.

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 4 The Scottish Government’s Housing and Planning Delivery Framework (HPDF) This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan takes account of the Scottish Government’s Housing and Planning Delivery Framework (HPDF) which promotes more efficient collaboration between Housing and Planning Services in relation to the Local Housing Strategy, Housing Need and Demand Assessment and national planning policies. Renfrewshire's Strategic Housing Investment Plan, Local Housing Strategy and the Renfrewshire Development Plan (including Renfrewshire’s Local Development Plan 2021 and National Planning Framework 4) support the implementation of the Housing and Planning Delivery Framework and aim to increase the supply of housing; make the housing system more responsive to demand; improve long term housing affordability and contribute to reducing volatility in the housing market. Development Plan for Renfrewshire Renfrewshire’s Development Plan consists of National Planning Framework 4 and the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2021. Renfrewshire’s Development Plan supports the development of new homes that improve affordability and choice as well as increasing access to homes for all which are accessible and adaptable, including wheelchair accessible homes. When the Council is assessing development projects included within this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan, it will consider these proposals against the policies in the National Planning Framework 4 and the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2021. Affordable Homes for Renfrewshire Renfrewshire Council continue to work with local authorities across the Glasgow City Region to finalise a Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA 3) that will assist in identifying the number of new homes required across Renfrewshire. In addition to HNDA3, a comprehensive local affordable housing study of the Renfrewshire area is currently being prepared. This detailed local research will complement the wider HNDA3 as well as provide a robust and credible evidence base by identifying housing need at a lower level geography across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages. This comprehensive evidence base will also inform the application of Renfrewshire’s Affordable Housing Policy.
Page 9
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 5 Following the publication of HNDA3 and the completion of the local affordable housing study, the Council will identify Housing Supply Targets to meet the needs for both private and affordable housing. These targets will be included in new Renfrewshire Local Housing Strategy due to be published later in 2023. Resources for Housing Delivery It is essential that a healthy, flexible and ambitious affordable housing development programme is maintained to ensure that sites can be progressed to meet local needs while making best use of available funding and resources. The Scottish Government provide local authorities with multi-year Resource Planning Assumptions (RPA’s) to support the longer term planning and delivery of projects within the Strategic Housing Investment Plan. For the three-year period 2023/24 to 2025/26, the following minimum levels of grant funding have been confirmed by the Scottish Government: ▪ £17.140M in grant support for the financial year 2023/24; ▪ £17.200M in grant support for the financial year 2024/25; and ▪ £17.485M in grant support for the financial year 2025/26 Scottish Government Grant Benchmarks Resource Planning Assumptions provide grant support at benchmark rates for each affordable home developed. In June 2023, the Scottish Government increased the benchmark grant rates for a social rented new build home to £83,584 for new Council homes and £91,182 for housing association partners. These grant rates are flexible which means that projects may be eligible for a higher grant award per property following a detailed assessment of project viability and development costs. In recent years, tender costs have been significantly higher due to increased labour and material costs. This has had an adverse impact on development costs, levels of grant requirement and timescales for the delivery of projects. The recent uprating of grant levels is intended to assist in mitigating these higher development costs. Following the recent uprating of Scottish Government grant benchmarks in June 2023, discussions will now take place with affordable housing providers as part of the draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan consultation process to determine any consequential impact on the level of grant to be made available
Page 10
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 6 to affordable housing providers from current Resource Planning Assumptions to support delivery of projects identified within appendix 3 of this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan. Following these discussions, appendix 3 of the finalised Strategic Housing Investment Plan will be updated to reflect any eligible increase in the level of grant funding for each project. New Affordable Housing Design Features Additional grant funding is available from existing Resource Planning Assumptions for affordable housing related to specific quality and design features, including: ▪ The delivery of homes to Silver Level of the 2019 Building Regulations in respect of Energy for Space Heating; ▪ The provision of balconies within flatted developments where the provision of private or communal outdoor space is not possible; ▪ The provision of space for home working or study where it is not possible to incorporate such space within the design of the homes under current space standards; ▪ Digitally enabled homes with tenants able to arrange for an internet connection without the internet service provider having to provide additional cabling to the premises; ▪ The installation of ducting infrastructure for electric vehicle charge point connectors; ▪ Installation of electric vehicle charge points; ▪ The installation of automatic fire suppression systems; and ▪ Installation of heating systems which produce zero direct emissions at the point of use. The flexible benchmark rates of grant as well as any additional grant being made available to affordable housing developers who incorporate enhanced design elements, is being met from current known Resource Planning Assumptions. This may have an impact on the number of new affordable homes being delivered as the level of grant for each property increases. New build Council housing, Auchengreoch Road, Johnstone

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 7 Renfrewshire’s Local Housing Strategy A new Local Housing Strategy for Renfrewshire that will cover the next five year period is currently being finalised following consultation with local communities, housing associations, tenants and resident’s associations, community councils, the third sector, Renfrewshire’s Health and Social Care Partnership and other key stakeholders. It is anticipated that new Local Housing Strategy will be submitted for approval to the Communities and Housing Policy Board in late 2023. The new Local Housing Strategy takes account of current local and national policy priorities, as well as new research and evidence and looks to build upon past successes whilst aiming to meet need and demand for both housing and housing related services. The new draft Local Housing Strategy includes 5 strategic priorities as shown opposite. New Local Housing Strategy Draft Strategic Priorities 1. The supply and delivery of housing is increased across all tenures to meet the housing needs of different groups and create attractive and sustainable places. 2. People live in high quality, well managed homes in sustainable neighbourhoods. 3. Address the challenges of the climate emergency, delivering homes that are warm, energy efficient and fuel poverty is minimized. 4. Preventing and addressing Homelessness with vulnerable people getting the advice and support they need. 5. People can live independently for as long as possible in their own home and the different housing needs of people across Renfrewshire are being met.

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 8 Meeting Renfrewshire’s Housing Need When developing proposals for new build private and affordable housing, development proposals require to promote balanced mixed communities that include a range of property types and sizes to meet a range of housing needs, including the provision of accessible homes and homes designed to wheelchair standard. All affordable housing must be built to Housing for Varying Needs standard and should have flexibility built into its design to allow for future adaptation and reconfiguration to meet on-going tenant and resident’s future needs. ▪ In 2021, Renfrewshire’s had a population of 179,940 people living across 87,910 different households with an average household size of just over two people (National Records of Scotland). ▪ By 2028, the number of households is expected to increase to around 90,600 through small projected increases in the population combined with an increasing number of people living alone (National Records of Scotland). ▪ Renfrewshire’s population like Scotland’s is ageing with people living longer. In 2021, almost one fifth (19.6%) of Renfrewshire’s population was 65 years of age or older (National Records of Scotland). Renfrewshire Affordable Housing Investment Priorities All projects included within this Strategic Housing Investment Plan have clear links to the Strategic Priorities of the new draft Local Housing Strategy. Affordable homes delivered through the Strategic Housing Investment Plan require to be of a high quality, be energy efficient and be able to meets people’s needs and aspirations both now and in the future, with homes able to adapt to meet people’s changing needs over time. This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan recognises that good quality affordable homes enhance Renfrewshire’s towns and villages and encourages a sense of community and place. The delivery of high quality homes can have a positive impact on peoples’ lives. The projects identified within this plan support the provision of a range and choice of affordable housing of the right type and size to meets the housing needs of different groups throughout Renfrewshire. The projects included in this plan will help meet the needs of individuals, families and those who require accommodation to
Page 13
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 9 meet a particular housing need such as housing for older people and housing to meet the needs of those with physical disabilities. Projects for both general and particular needs provision are included as both standalone purpose-built accommodation as well as within mainstream general needs developments. Particular needs provision alongside appropriate support, will assist people to live independently and successfully for as long as possible in their own homes and communities. In recent years, affordable homes delivered through the Strategic Housing Investment Plan have primarily focused on adding to the supply of new build affordable homes for social rent. There is also a recognised ongoing need for shared equity provision, as well as some limited open market acquisitions where such acquisitions meet an identified housing need in line with the new Local Housing Strategy. The delivery of new affordable homes on private sector sites is also supported by making use of Renfrewshire’s Affordable Housing Policy to promote the creation of mixed tenure communities. As well as new build affordable housing, this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan places a strong emphasis on making best use of existing stock where possible and addressing issues in terms of housing quality and sustainability. This includes progressing the Council’s ambitious regeneration plans through new build Council development and/or significant investment and improvements to existing homes. The draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan supports the delivery of the Local Housing Strategy by: 1. Supporting local housing regeneration programmes; 2. Including new affordable housing provision to replace social rented housing no longer fit for purpose; 3. Addressing mismatch between the current supply of social rented housing and the housing people need and want to live in, taking account of type, size, quality and location; 4. Increasing the supply of affordable housing in areas where there is demand but limited provision; 5. Supporting the development of sustainable mixed communities by including affordable provision on private sector development sites; 6. Expanding the supply of housing for older people and those with particular and complex needs, including those who are homeless or on a repeat and persistent cycle of homelessness; and 7. Continuing to support town centre regeneration through residential development.

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 10 Renfrewshire Council Regeneration and Renewal Programme Renfrewshire Council have approved an investment of at least £100 million over the next 10 years to support the delivery of modern, high quality energy efficient Council homes. In addition to adding to the supply of new build Council housing, the investment programme will target enhanced investment to the existing housing stock, including works to the external fabric of properties and environmental improvements. Following consultation, detailed plans are now being progressed for newbuild housing in the regeneration areas or where redevelopment is not possible, on alternative sites nearby. This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan includes new build Council development projects for social rent with available grant support from the Affordable Housing Supply Programme being used to supplement the Council’s £100 million investment. New build projects included within this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan that will provide new build Council housing for social rent include: ▪ Broomlands Area, Paisley; ▪ Carbrook Street, Paisley; ▪ Foxbar, Paisley; ▪ Garthland Lane, Paisley; ▪ Gallowhill, Paisley; ▪ Thrushcraigs Area, Paisley; ▪ Springbank Area, Paisley; and ▪ Howwood Road, Johnstone. More information on the Council’s Regeneration and Renewal Programme can be found on the Council’s website by visiting: Housing regeneration in Renfrewshire - Renfrewshire Website Addressing the Climate Crisis in Renfrewshire Tackling the Climate Crisis is a major priority for Renfrewshire Council with work currently being progressed as part of Renfrewshire’s Plan for Net Zero, with actions to achieve Net Zero to be embedded in related Council plans and strategies. It is recognised that the changing climate has a direct impact on Renfrewshire’s current housing stock and that some residents will be more vulnerable to this than others.
Page 15
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 11 The Council’s £1 million Climate Change Action Fund, which funds innovative projects and initiatives, also supports engagement and partnership working across Renfrewshire and accelerates the pace of change of existing projects in order to tackle the climate crisis. Climate Change Adaptations Both Renfrewshire Council and housing association partners are incorporating additional energy efficiency measures as part of new build design which will actively target reduced carbon emissions from new build development. Projects included within this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan aim to tackle fuel poverty by maximising opportunities for innovative energy efficient development, with greener measures included within new build developments. Particular Housing Needs The draft Renfrewshire Local Housing Strategy highlights the need for housing that meets the particular housing needs of a range of client groups with a particular focus on homelessness prevention as well as enabling people to live independently for as long as possible in their own home with their different housing needs being met. This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan includes a range of projects to address identified particular needs, with these projects having been refined since the last Strategic Housing Investment Plan. ▪ Abbey Quarter Phase IV, Paisley - 20 amenity standard homes and 5 fully wheelchair accessible homes for social rent that will sit alongside general needs housing; ▪ Older Persons housing at Station Road, Paisley - around 45 homes being developed to meet the particular needs of older people for social rent; ▪ Older Persons housing reprovisioning, Erskine – around 24 new older persons homes being developed to replace existing provision. Regular discussions take place with Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) when planning new developments to investigate the requirements for particular needs developments at an early stage to ensure that projects are viable, sustainable and capable of meetings tenants and residents’ needs.

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 12 Wheelchair Accessible Housing All affordable housing providers in Renfrewshire aim to deliver a range of property types and sizes to meet people’s different housing needs - this includes the development of homes that meet wheelchair accessible standards. When preparing new build development proposals, developers will be required to design homes that are able to meet occupants changing needs over time and the needs of an ageing population, by looking to incorporate design features that promote accessible and adaptable homes. Targets for the delivery of wheelchair accessible homes as part of new build developments have been identified as part of the development of the new Renfrewshire Local Housing Strategy. The draft Local Housing Strategy proposes that: ▪ New residential proposals must provide a minimum 10% of all dwellings designed to be easily adaptable for residents who are wheelchair users; and ▪ 5% of all new homes must be designed to wheelchair accessible standard. Rapid Rehousing Transition Plans Renfrewshire Council and partners worked together to prepare a Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan (RRTP) covering the 5-year period to 2024. The Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan details how those who are homeless will be provided with settled accommodation more quickly; spend reduced time in temporary accommodation and have more access to up-scaled support. The strategic housing priorities contained within this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan align with the Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan, supporting the delivery of homes to meet the requirements of different needs groups, household types and sizes. Child Poverty (Scotland) Act 2017 This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan recognises the fundamental role housing has in tackling child poverty and aims to support the delivery of a range of property types and sizes that meet the needs of families of all sizes through the creation of high quality energy efficient homes in sustainable communities that support health, wellbeing and educational attainment.
Page 17
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 13 Early discussions with affordable housing providers ensures that the housing mix proposed for each project takes account of housing waiting lists with this information reflected in terms of any agreed property mix and household sizes. Refugee Resettlement Renfrewshire Council have been working with the Scottish Government and Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) to determine what Renfrewshire can provide in terms of the housing stock of the Council and our housing association partners to support the matching of refugee arrivals from the Ukraine to properties in Renfrewshire. To date, most accommodation required has been smaller with one or two bedrooms being used due to the arriving household size. The extent of ongoing support in terms of the number of homes required to support Renfrewshire’s contribution towards this national resettlement scheme is unclear and will be reviewed when preparing future Strategic Housing Investment Plans. Gypsy/Travellers The Council continue to review the need to allocate land to meet the housing needs of Gypsy/Travellers taking account of the Joint Action Plan published by the Scottish Government and Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA). The Council will also await the outcome of the additional Scottish Government research into Gypsy/Travellers and use the proposed toolkit which is intended to assist local authorities build an understanding of the changing needs of Gypsy/Travellers in our area, in particular in relation to accommodation, services and supporting travel throughout Renfrewshire and beyond. Once the toolkit is made available this will inform the current Gypsy/Travellers assessment work that has been undertaken by Renfrewshire Council and will allow for both a strategic and local insight into the Gypsy/Traveller community and the implications for Renfrewshire. This work will be undertaken as an on-going action in the new Renfrewshire Local Housing Strategy. This on-going work will identify the potential needs and support requirements of the Gypsy/Traveller community and whether site provision is
Page 18
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 14 required. If accommodation is required, this could be in the form of seasonal, transit, permanent or stopping places. Cross boundary and regional implications continue to be explored in partnership with neighbouring authorities as part of the Glasgow City Region Housing Market Partnership and will look at the potential of utilising negotiated stopping in defined areas to meet transient needs. If there is a need to allocate land to meet the accommodation need of Gypsy/Travellers, this will be addressed through the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan and its associated Delivery Programme. Should a requirement for accommodation/sites be identified to meet the needs of Gypsy/Travellers, future updates of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan will include details of these projects with funding potentially also being sought from the Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation Fund where appropriate. Travelling Showpeople There are currently no permanent Travelling Showpeople sites in Renfrewshire. Over the course of the new Local Housing Strategy, the Council will identify if there is a need to allocate land to meet the housing needs of Travelling Showpeople and this will be addressed through the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan/Action Delivery Programme. Council Tax on Empty and Second Homes At present, there is no direct funding allocated to the affordable housing programme in Renfrewshire from revenue raised from empty homes. However, the Council actively use other mechanisms available to promote the delivery of affordable homes. This includes the role of the Council’s dedicated ‘More Homes Officer’ who works with owners of long-term empty properties to provide advice and assistance with a view of bringing long term empty properties back into productive use. The More Homes Officer manages the Councils Buy back/Acquisition scheme where properties that meet strategic objectives may be purchased and added to the Council’s lettable housing stock, with Council funding and/or Scottish Government grant used to support these strategic acquisitions. The Council continues to monitor developments in terms of the Scottish Government’s ‘Housing to 2040’ Strategy proposals to
Page 19
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 15 support bringing empty homes back into productive use through enhanced powers for Councils and funding potentially being made available to support Councils in bringing empty homes back into use, or to convert suitable vacant commercial premises in town centre locations. In recent years, the Council’s Empty Homes Officer (now called More Homes Officer) successfully helped to bring 63 long term empty homes back into the effective housing supply (2018/19: 14 homes, 2019/20: 26 homes and 2020/21: 23 homes). New build social rented housing, Millarston, Paisley, (Link Group) Acquisition of Private Housing (Rental Off the Shelf) Provision is included for a small proportion of available resources to be used to assist social housing providers - both the Council and housing association partners - to purchase appropriate properties for social rent on the open market, where this would help to meet identified housing need or enable social landlords to undertake pro-active management and maintenance of housing stock. This provision will support the acquisition of a range of property types including empty homes and other types of property where the acquisition of these properties align with Local Housing Strategy and the Council’s Acquisitions Strategy. Available resources will continue to be prioritised to support the delivery of new build affordable housing with open market acquisitions permitted where there is slippage in the programme in any given year and funding may therefore be available, with cognisance to the quality standards that require to be met when purchasing second-hand residential dwellings with vacant possession.
Page 20
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 16 Subject to the availability of funding, grant support may be made available to support strategic acquisitions for up to £35,000 per property. Consideration will only be given to properties in line with the Council’s Acquisitions Strategy with properties required to: ▪ meet an identified need in terms of stock type, size and location; ▪ meet particular needs which may be difficult to address within the existing stock base; ▪ represent good value for money, taking account of repair and investment requirements as well as purchase price; ▪ located close to the stock base of the acquiring landlord, for management and maintenance purposes; and ▪ assist in allowing common works to be progressed on mixed tenure blocks. To be eligible for grant support, affordable housing providers will be expected to investigate all other available funding options alongside grant support from the Council’s Resource Planning Assumption/Affordable Housing Supply Programme. Delivering New Affordable Homes in Renfrewshire Detailed information on the ongoing and proposed affordable new build developments can be found in Appendix 1. Appendix 3 outlines the ambitious new build programme proposed throughout Renfrewshire over the next 5 years. The significance of strategic regeneration is reflected in the projects currently on site or proposed to be taken forward over the next five years as shown in Appendices 1 and 3. New build social rented housing, St Ninian’s Crescent, Paisley (Link Group)
Page 21
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 17 Renfrewshire Council New Build Programme This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan rolls forward the Council’s own ambitious new build programme. This follows the completion of new build Council homes at Dargavel Village, Bishopton, at Johnstone Castle in Johnstone at Auchengreoch Road in Johnstone and more recently with new homes at Ferguslie Park in Paisley. The Council are also progressing new build plans at both Gallowhill and at Garthland Lane in Paisley, with the Council’s regeneration programme including additional new Council homes in the Howwood Road area of Johnstone, Thrushcraigs area of Paisley, Broomlands area of Paisley, Springbank area of Paisley and Foxbar area of Paisley. New build Council housing, Ferguslie Park, Paisley Programme Management and Project Prioritisation This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan splits projects in to two groups through the use of a ‘core’ and ‘shadow’ programme. Projects within each group are shown in Appendix 3. The methodology used to prioritise project delivery is based on the ability to progress each project at key milestones in terms of an assessment of project viability, site acquisition, design work, procurement and potential site start with these milestones considered against availability of Scottish Government grant. This approach allows for the programming of individual projects as part of the ‘core’ and ‘shadow’ programme which together outline the on-going 5 year affordable housing supply programme delivered through the Strategic Housing Investment Plan. Projects within the ‘core’ group will be progressed in the earlier years of the programme (normally years 1-3) where there is grant availability and where developers finances allow. Projects included in the ‘shadow’ programme will be progressed as ‘core’ projects complete or when additional funding becomes available or where there is the ability to ‘front fund’ projects to
Page 22
Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 18 allow projects to proceed earlier. This means that project timescales may be subject to change. In terms of front funding, the Council or the housing association partner may initially fund the early stages of project development costs from their own resources, with grant being paid to developing organisations at the first available opportunity as funding becomes available. The use of a ‘core’ and ‘shadow’ programme supports the effective management of available resources whilst permitting some flexibility that assists in addressing any slippage of projects in any given year. Projects in the shadow programme may require extended lead in times to allow for site investigative works, site assembly or to arrange the necessary private finance to enable a development to proceed – all of which may influence how projects are prioritised within the programme with all projects subject to regular review. Additional new projects may be added to the programme should appropriate opportunities arise over the next 12 months prior to the next update of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan. Any additional projects brought forward need to align with the Local Housing Strategy. Due to current high tender and development costs, timescales for the progression of projects may change depending on the developing organisations financial position and ability to proceed in a high inflationary environment. This may cause movement within the development programme with projects moving between the core and shadow programme to ensure all funding available to Renfrewshire can be fully utilised. Delivery Both the Council and our housing association delivery partners will continue to look for efficiencies in construction methods and will work with the construction industry and design teams to determine the suitability of non-traditional construction methods for projects included with the Strategic Housing Investment Plan. The Council will continue to explore options for joint working around innovative delivery mechanisms that support the delivery of affordable housing throughout Renfrewshire.

Draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024-2029 19 Housing Infrastructure Fund As part of the Scottish Government’s Housing to 2040 strategy, Scottish Ministers have agreed to continue with the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) in the period up to 2026. The Housing Infrastructure Fund provides both Councils and housing association partners with additional grant to support the unlocking of challenging sites where the scale and nature of infrastructure costs would prevent these sites from being progressed as part of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan where projects can deliver affordable homes in line with the Council’s strategic priorities. The funding allocated to the Housing Infrastructure Fund nationally is expected to be around £50 million in the 2021-2026 period. In recent years, a number of Renfrewshire projects have successfully accessed the Housing Infrastructure Fund with housing association partners continuing to look at options to bid for support from the Housing Infrastructure Fund as and when required. At present, no project developer within this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan is looking to access Housing Infrastructure Fund support, however this may change as developments move on site. Heat Network Fund Developing partners that are considering the installation of large- scale heat networks may now be eligible for support through the Scottish Government’s Heat Network Fund. This Fund provides grant funding for the installation of zero emissions communal and district heating systems. Applications should be made to the Heat Network Fund prior to applying for grant assistance through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme. Monitoring Progress A range of project management activities are used to ensure resources are managed effectively and projects are progressing as planned. These project management activities include: ▪ Ongoing liaison between services within the Council and between the Council and Registered Social Landlord partners on specific projects; ▪ Multi-agency project group meetings; ▪ Quarterly tripartite meetings involving the Council, individual developing Registered Social Landlord partners and the Scottish Government; and ▪ Six weekly internal officer group meetings to review progress.

Appendix 3 lists projects that are currently progressing and/or expected to draw down grant funding and/or be completed during the lifetime of this draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan. Appendix 4 gives details of sub-areas and settlements within Renfrewshire. Equalities This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan includes housing provision for a range of different needs groups including housing for older people and those with physical disabilities. The development programme includes clustered accommodation projects to meet an identified need as well as blended projects that provide both general and particular need accommodation at the same location to support inclusive and independent living. This draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan has been prepared in consultation with the Health and Social Care Partnership to ensure that projects take account of opportunities to deliver housing that meets the needs of a range of households with specific needs. In line with The Equality Act 2010 and the associated protected characteristics, an Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessment has been prepared alongside the preparation of the draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan to identify the likely or actual effects of it on people.
