___________________________________________________________________ To: Planning and Climate Change Policy Board On: 21 January 2025 ___________________________________________________________________ Report by: Chief Executive ___________________________________________________________________ Heading: Local Development Plan (LDP2) Delivery Programme Update ___________________________________________________________________ 1. Summary 1.1 There is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans to be accompanied by a Delivery Programme and for this to be updated every two years. A Draft LDP2 Delivery Programme update was consulted on in November/December 2024, and a finalised Delivery Programme Update has now been prepared for approval by Board, reflecting comments received. ___________________________________________________________________ 2. Recommendations 2.1 It is recommended that the Board: 1) approve the Local Development Plan (LDP2) Delivery Programme Update set out in Appendix 1. _________________________________________________________ 3. Background 3.1 There is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans to be accompanied by a Delivery Programme and for this to be updated every two years. A Delivery Programme (then known as an Action Programme) associated with the current Local Development Plan (LDP2) was published in 2022. A Delivery Programme is required to include: ▪ A list of actions required to deliver each of the plan’s policies and proposals and an explanation as to how those actions are to be taken. ▪ The timescale for the conclusion of each action; and

▪ The expected sequencing of, and timescales for, delivery of housing on sites allocated by the local development plan. ___________________________________________________________________ 4. Local Development Plan (LDP2) Delivery Programme 4.1 The 5 November 2024 meeting of this Board approved a Draft Delivery Programme Update for consultation purposes. This document provided an update on progress and future action in relation to the actions set out in the 2022 Action Programme. The consultation commenced on 14 November 2024 and ran until 20 December 2024. Appendix 2 sets out a summary of the consultation responses received and the Council’s reply to these. 4.2 Most responses were from key agencies or government agencies (SEPA, Scottish Forestry, NatureScot, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and Historic Environment Scotland), who welcomed reference to their involvement in actions set out in the Delivery Programme and sought minor clarifications or had no comment. 4.3 Buccleuch Property responded regarding the AMIDS site providing wording to clarify and update Action 1. The owners of Braehead Shopping Centre and Retail Park and the Xsite leisure attraction responded to advise the current masterplan is dated and unlikely to be implemented and seeks to work with the Council to prepare a new masterplan, possibly including residential development. 4.4 Bridge of Weir Community Council commented that it was difficult to discern an overall vision for Renfrewshire which includes a clear role for the villages. It is responded that the vision for Renfrewshire’s places is to be found in the Local Development Plan rather than the Delivery Programme itself. A concern is raised regarding maintenance of core paths, and an action has been included in this regard. In response to another comment, ‘local interest groups’ have been added to the partner list for delivery of the Green Network Strategy. 4.5 Homes for Scotland offer several comments on behalf of the housebuilding industry. They suggest that the Delivery Programme is updated annually, that actions should be specified in relation to each housing site, that developer contribution rates should be specified in relation to each site, and that site briefs or masterplans should be provided for medium- or long-term allocations. The Council response is that this is likely to be the last Delivery Programme associated with LDP2, as the new proposed Local Development Plan (LDP3) will have a Proposed Delivery Programme published alongside it in 2026, and to focus resources on providing more detail in the LDP2 Delivery Programme would divert from the new Local Development Plan process. 4.6 With reference to Action 8 on Paisley Town Centre Action Plan, a reference has been added in relation to the preservation and enhancement of listed buildings.

Funding for financial year 2024/25 was lower than originally anticipated, and there is uncertainty over future year’s funding meaning delivery of the programme is likely to be impacted. Progress and future actions The SHIP continues to provide funding to deliver a range of affordable housing developments across Renfrewshire including the delivery in 2023/24 of 101 new homes by the Council at Ferguslie Park, Paisley, and 81 homes at Abbey Quarter in Paisley and 14 homes at Woodend House in Houston, both development by Link Group. New affordable homes are being developed to the ensure they are energy efficient to help tackle fuel poverty and the Council and partners continue to develop options around the achievement of low carbon, energy efficient homes that meet our climate change aspirations through innovation and technology. Throughout the lifetime of the SHIP the Council will continue to explore options around innovative delivery mechanisms to expand the supply of affordable housing focusing on the regeneration of brownfield and previously used land.

The programme will deliver modern, high quality, energy efficient, affordable Council housing and contribute to the wider transformation of communities across Renfrewshire. Within each area, there is a different scope of regeneration activity and timescales, within a 10-year programme that commenced in 2022. Regeneration activity involves a mix of investment in existing properties, demolition, new-build, and environmental improvements. The programme involves a new approach to community neighbourhood renewal, going beyond housing and taking account of broader issues such as health and wellbeing, and access to open space, sustainable travel, and employment/training opportunities.

Renfrewshire Local Development Plan – Delivery Programme | 2024 | 25 Delivering the Places Strategy Action 19: Consider the need to identify new sites to meet the housing needs of key groups Policy/Proposal: P1, P2, P3, P4, I3, I4 & ENV4 Lead/ Partners: Key housing groups, developers, Key Agencies, Local Community Organisations, Registered Social Landlords, adjoining Local Authorities and Renfrewshire Council. Progress and future actions: Strategic Priority 5 of the Local Housing Strategy 2023-28 is that ‘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’. Whilst recognising a general need of housing for particular needs, the Local Housing Strategy does not specify the need for specific sites for key groups. However, opportunities to deliver new homes for key groups are continually investigated through the annual review of the Strategic Housing Investment Programme. The Local Housing Strategy also sets a requirement for 10% of dwellings in new residential proposals to be designed to be easily adaptable for wheelchair users, and 5% to be designed to be wheelchair accessible. LDP2 provides a framework for the consideration of new small privately-owned sites to accommodate Gypsies/Travellers and Travelling Showpeople, whether transit or permanent. The requirement for the identification of land/sites for Gypsy/Traveller housing needs is being considered as part of the new Local Development Plan (LDP3) process. 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 Post 2026

Action 23: Work with local communities to support the delivery of community asset transfer projects Policy/Proposal: P1, P5, P6 & ENV7 Lead/Partners: Renfrewshire Council, Local Community/Voluntary Organisations and Development Trusts. Progress and future actions: Renfrewshire Council is committed to building strong, safe and resilient communities. In 2022 the Council created a dedicated single point of contact for community asset transfer and reviewed our policy and procedures. The result has been an increase in the number of asset transfer requests, better support for community organisations and management of the process through the Council and an increase in success. Since Part 5 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 came into force in 2017, Renfrewshire Council has processed 22 full CAT requests. 11 of the applications were processed in the period 2017-22 of which 3 were refused 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 Post 2026 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 Post 2026

Renfrewshire Local Development Plan – Delivery Programme | 2024 | 37 Delivering the Environment Strategy Renfrewshire’s Green Network Strategy Funding Details: It is anticipated that projects will be funded through a variety of sources and organisations, such as national grant schemes as well as those funding streams available to voluntary and third sector bodies. Progress and future actions: Several pieces of work that would inform a Green Network Strategy have been completed or commenced. These include an updated Core Paths Plan (2022) and Biodiversity Action Plan (2024). An open space audit and work to identify a nature network is being undertaken to inform LDP3. There is now a statutory requirement to prepare an Open Space Strategy, although Regulations to inform its preparation are still awaited. It is likely that an Open Space Strategy could cover much of the same content of a Green Network Strategy. The preparation of a separate Green Network Strategy is therefore not within the current work programme and the need for a separate strategy will be kept under review..

Appendix 2 Responses to consulta�on on the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (LDP2) Dra� Delivery Programme Update Respondent Response summary Proposed Renfrewshire Council response SEPA SEPA welcomes its inclusion in ac�ons rela�ng to flood risk and drainage, heat networks and the prepara�on of a green network strategy, with the sugges�on that the strategy should consider blue infrastructure (water) as well as green. Noted. No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in relation to this comment. Bridge of Weir Community Council It is difficult to discern an overall vision for Renfrewshire which includes a clear role for the villages. It is not the role of the Delivery Plan to set a vision for Renfrewshire. This is for the Local Development Plan itself. The comment is noted and we will work with Bridge of Weir Community Council and other communi�es to develop visions for all areas in the new Local Development Plan (LDP3). No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in relation to this comment. Ac�on re Core Paths Plan, does this include maintenance? Around Bridge of Weir path maintenance is becoming a concern with seemingly no clear responsibility. This ac�on primarily relates to the iden�fica�on of the core path network and the update of the Core Paths Plan which was approved in 2022. However, an ac�on has been added rela�ng to the maintenance of core paths. It should be noted that there is no statutory duty to maintain core paths, nor is the Council responsible for the maintenance of all paths in the core path network, some of which are not in Council ownership. Where the Council is responsible for a path, maintenance can be undertaken subject to available resources. The Green Network Strategy ac�on should also include groups such as Crea�ng a Sustainable Gryffe.

Respondent Response summary Proposed Renfrewshire Council response Turley Associates represen�ng Buccleuch Property Wording provided to clarify and update Ac�on 1 rela�ng to Advanced manufacturing Innova�on District Scotland (AMIDS). The changes suggested have been incorporated into the finalised LDP2 Delivery Programme Update.

This is likely to be the last Delivery Programme associated with LDP2 as a Proposed Delivery Programme will be published alongside the Proposed LDP3 in 2026. No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in relation to this comment. The Council should detail specific ac�ons that are required to deliver development sites, �mescales for this and who is responsible for addressing the ac�on. Whilst recognising that this could be beneficial, it is considered that to do this for each of the 120 housing sites listed in the LDP2 Delivery Programme would be resource intensive and would divert from the prepara�on of the new local development plan (LDP3). This will be considered as part of the Proposed Delivery Programme will be published alongside the Proposed LDP3 in 2026 No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in relation to this comment. The Delivery Programme should include accurate costs for poten�al contribu�on rates per house as well as the likely split of costs between lead and suppor�ng delivery partners. Greater certainty on poten�al direct and indirect developer contribu�ons will allow developers to factor this into their viability assessments and for the Council to understand where �mescales for delivery do not align. Whilst recognising that this could be beneficial, it is considered that to do this for each of the 120 housing sites listed in the LDP2 Delivery Programme would be resource intensive and would divert from the prepara�on of the new local development plan (LDP3).
