(Convener foreword to be added) 
1. Introduction 
1.1 This Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) 2026/27 – 2030/31 sets out the
funding priorities for affordable housing in West Dunbartonshire for the next
five years.   
1.2 The focus of the SHIP is the targeting of the Scottish Government’s Affordable
Housing Supply Programme Funding (AHSP), including its Council House
Building Programme component towards addressing the priorities laid out in
the West Dunbartonshire More Homes Better Homes Local Housing Strategy
2022 – 2027 
1.3 The SHIP details how the Council will assist in meeting the Scottish
Government’s commitment to support new affordable housing as set out in
the Housing to 2024 strategy and in supporting the Scottish Government’s
affordable housing supply objectives as set out in the Housing Emergency
Action Plan announced by the Cabinet Secretary for Housing on 2nd September
2025.   
1.4 The SHIP has been prepared considering the Strategic Housing Investment Plan
(SHIP) Guidance note MHDGN 20MC25/01 issued by the Scottish Government
in May 2025. 
1.5 Housing has worked with all appropriate service areas and with the West
Dunbartonshire HSCP in the preparation of this Plan. Consultation has taken
place with the RSLs operating in West Dunbartonshire through the Strategic
Housing Providers Forum and regular programme/liaison arrangements.  The
umbrella organisation for tenants’ and residents’ groups in the area, the
WDTRO, is very supportive of the Council’s new build programme and was
consulted on the draft SHIP.  The Scottish Government More Homes Division
Glasgow and Clyde Area Team have contributed to the preparation of this SHIP
and will have an ongoing role in monitoring the programme. 
1.6 To assist in advance planning of housing investment, the Scottish Government
advises local authorities annually of their minimum Resource Planning
Assumptions (RPA) indicating what AHSP grant total will be made available. The
RPA for 2025/26 issued on 1st May 2025 shows a slight increase in resources
from last year’s figure and stands at £11.363m.   This includes the sum of
£0.406m specifically allocated to acquire homes to help address homelessness
pressures.   
1.7 Local authorities have been advised to operate carry forward limits beyond
2025/26 of 80%, 60% and 40% for the three subsequent years. This would give
RPA grant figures as shown in Table 1 below.  In three out of the last five years
we have been able exceed our initial RPA, with additional grant funding having 
Page 98

Page 7

been released by the Scottish Government More Homes Division.  This is
reflective of the Scottish Government’s confidence in our ability to deliver an
effective affordable housing supply programme in West Dunbartonshire.

1.9  Funding shown for projects is an indication only of the spending plans and at
this stage does not guarantee that these sums will be made available to the
developer.  Each proposal will require going through a further detailed
assessment before funding is committed and confirmed in the SLPA.        
1.10    The Scottish Government issued a Strategic Local Programme Agreement to
West Dunbartonshire Council (SLPAs) on 16th July 2025 which sets out the
programme of housing that can expect to be funded through the AHSP for
2025/26.   Detailed discussions were held at programme meetings with
developing RSLs to plan the anticipated spend over the course of the SHIP.  In
launching the Housing Emergency Action Plan, the Scottish Government
announced the intention to introduce multi-year funding to give social housing
developers.  The details of this welcome measure have still to be announced.   
This SHIP accords with the current SLPA which will be subject to ongoing
review.  
2. Purpose of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan 
2.1   The principal purpose of the SHIP is to set out the strategic investment priorities
for affordable housing over a 5-year period to achieve the outcomes set out in
the LHS.   This SHIP sets out the planned housing investment programme for 5 
Page 99

Page 8

years, covering the period 2026/27 – 2030/31.  As yet, it is uncertain how
much committed spending will be carried forward from 2025/26 to 2026/27. 
Due to funding uncertainty, the emphasis is placed on the early part of the
programme. 
2.2   The SHIP:
• Sets out investment priorities for affordable housing
• Demonstrates how these will be delivered
• Identifies the resources required to deliver these priorities
• Enables the involvement of key partners in the delivery of affordable
housing. 
2.3   Key investment priorities on a site-by-site basis are set out in the template
attached to this plan (Annexe A).  The template gives information on the
following: 
• The priorities for new affordable housing projects
• Estimated start and completion dates
• Projected funding sources 
• The number of units to be provided (by tenure and type)
• Estimated funding requirements of projects.   
3. Key Objectives   
3.1 The overarching objective of the SHIP is to help deliver on the Council’s key
affordable housing delivery priorities as contained in the Local Housing
Strategy, by directing investment to the agreed regeneration areas and
increasing the supply of new affordable housing across West Dunbartonshire.
The LHS sets an annual Housing Supply Target of 230 new houses across all
tenures, with 80 of these being for Social Rent.   
3.2   The Council has welcomed the Scottish Government’s commitment to deliver
110,000 affordable homes by 2032 supported by measures such as increasing
investment, legislative programming to make Planning more effective and
supporting infrastructure.    Under its More Home West Dunbartonshire
initiative, the Council set out ambitious plans to deliver 2,500 new social and
affordable home in the same period, a figure in excess of the Council’s Housing
Supply Targets. 
4. Policy Context 
4.1 The value of providing new social housing is widely recognised.  In July 2025,
Shelter published its study The Social Value of New Social Housing in Scotland
which calculated that each new social tenancy in Scotland can generate on
average £11,639 in social value within just six months of a tenant moving in.
This figure includes a £990.44 saving to the public purse and £10,648 in
wellbeing value to the tenant, who benefits from improved opportunities such 
Page 100

Page 9

as securing employment, better health, transport connections, and reduced
housing costs, thanks to their new social home. 
4.2 Housing to 2024 sets out the Scottish Government’s housing vision and its road
map to get there. It aims to deliver their ambition for everyone to have a safe,
good quality and affordable home that meets their needs in the place they
want to be. 
4.3 The West Dunbartonshire Local Strategy 2022 - 2027 provides the principal
West Dunbartonshire Council policy backdrop to the SHIP. 
4.4 The plan is informed by a Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA)
designed to give broad, long-term estimates of the number of additional
housing units that may be required to meet existing and future housing need
and demand. The HNDA was produced by Glasgow City Region Housing Market
Partnership (GCRHMP) in June 2024 for the Glasgow City Region and is known
as ‘HNDA3’. It was developed in accordance with legislation and relevant
statutory guidance including the Scottish Government’s Practitioner’s and
Manager’s Guides of 2020.  West Dunbartonshire plans to carry out further,
more locality-based need and demand assessment.   
4.5 West Dunbartonshire Council through its representative organisations COSLA
and ALACHO will continue to engage with the Scottish Government in
identifying more effective and better value processes for the delivery of new
affordable housing including on parity between Council and RSL benchmark
subsidy rates.   
5.     Local Housing Strategy 2022 -2027 
5.1   The Local Housing Strategy continues to place an emphasis on regeneration,
recognising the need to improve many of our neighbourhoods and to provide
housing which meets the changing requirements of our communities.
However, we do also recognise that there are imbalances in terms of the type
of housing which is required across all communities. Physical access to too
many of our homes is an issue. We will therefore encourage the provision of
more accessible housing and ones which are suitable for wheelchair users (See
Section 7 below). Similarly, we know that there is a size imbalance between the
available housing and the demand, with particular shortages of 1-bedroom
properties and larger family houses (4-bed and above). Developers seeking to
access AHSP funding must consult with WDC Housing services on how best to
contribute to addressing these imbalances and meeting the objectives of the
LHS. 
5.2   In addition to the regeneration agenda, the Council is keen to encourage an
increase in the housing supply more generally across West Dunbartonshire to
mitigate an ageing demographic and to stimulate the local economy. 
Page 101

Page 10

5.3   The Council, as the statutory Strategic Housing Authority, has the lead role in
setting out the investment priorities for the delivery of affordable housing and
through the “More Homes West Dunbartonshire” approach, we work with our
strategic development partners to take forward opportunities to provide a
broad range of high quality affordable homes in safe and attractive
neighbourhoods that meet the needs of our residents.   
5.4   The Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) provides knowledge on the
health and social care needs of the West Dunbartonshire population. The SHIP
supports the over-arching policy of shifting the balance of care from
institutional settings to home-based support in the community. The Local
Housing Strategy notes that successful housing and social care support
depends on the location, model and range of housing available. Section 7
below outlines how we aim to support the housing needs of groups.  
5.5  The WD HSCP Strategic Plan 2023 -2036, notes the important role housing will 
play in health, as homes can impact on people’s health in a way that few other
factors can, and commits to working  with partners to expand the choice of
specialist and particular housing options for children and adults.   
5.6   Given the local ageing demographic, the prevalent topography and the nature
of our housing stock, accessibility to housing for people with a mobility issue is
a big concern in West Dunbartonshire. All new housing supported by the AHSP
is required to satisfy Housing for Varying Needs (HfVN) criteria and our West
Dunbartonshire Housing Design Standard. We also aim to continue to improve
the supply of housing suitable for wheelchair users. In some circumstances the
provision of lifts may present a solution to accessibility issues. Where no
specific specialist housing provision is included in the project, it will generally
be assumed that around 10% on each site will be for this purpose, with the
details being agreed in consultation with HSCP colleagues. 
5.7   Housing can play an important role in helping to revitalise town centres. Such
developments can bring wider benefits to the towns and provide many
advantages for residents including easier access to shops and services and help
lower the carbon footprint. We collaborate with our colleagues in
Regeneration Services to consider opportunities which complement their town
centre improvement agenda. The Artizan Centre in Dumbarton features in the
SHIP and we will consider future town centre sites which form part of wider
town centre regeneration initiatives. 
5.8    Research carried out in 2014 did not indicate a strong market for
intermediate/mid-market rent products (MMR). However, we are presently
revisiting the issue.

6.      Housing Priorities and the Housing Emergency 
6.1    West Dunbartonshire Council declared a Housing Emergency on 1st May 2024
with the Scottish Government doing likewise a few days later. 
6.2    West Dunbartonshire Council has drawn up a Housing Emergency Action Plan,
overseen by a Working Group which meets regularly to monitor progress. The first
theme of the Action Plan is to Deliver and Maintain the More Homes - West
Dunbartonshire Approach to the Delivery of Affordable Housing. 
A number of the key actions under this theme are directed at increasing the supply
of new affordable housing including:
• Continue to lobby the Scottish Government for increase in AHSP funding (in
partnership with COSLA/SOLACE/ALACHO)
• Deliver new Strategic Housing Investment Plan and the Council's approved new build
programme, helping to meet the identified housing need  
• Scale up and extend the Buy Back Scheme to meet the key housing demand factors
• Explore innovative housing investment and partnership models to maximise housing
investment approaches. 
6.3   The Scottish Government published its Housing Emergency Action Plan Tackling    
Scotland’s Housing Emergency on 02 September 2025. The SG actions sit under   
three key objectives:
• Ending children living in temporary accommodation
• Supporting the housing needs of vulnerable communities
• Building our Future – maximizing investment in Scotland’s housing sector. 
The WDC Action Plan actions complement these objectives. 
7.     Specialist Housing Needs and Wheelchair Accessible Targets 
7.1    The West Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership’s Strategic Needs
Assessment – Adults and Older People 2022 provides the most valuable
information base for predicting future requirements for the ageing West
Dunbartonshire population. This is currently being reassessed and will be
monitored for any significant changes. The key consideration for Housing in
looking at the data is how does it translate into need for a housing solution,
either through existing stock or new homes. The clear emphasis will be
increasingly towards meeting needs in residents’ own homes through support
and aids/adaptations. We are engaging with the HSCP over what models of
supported accommodation best meet future needs in West Dunbartonshire. 
Page 103

Page 12

7.2   Wheelchair Accessible Housing            
West Dunbartonshire requires all social rented projects receiving AHSP grant
support to provide a 10% element of fully wheelchair accessible housing
(WCH). The detail of this requirement is spelled out in the WD Design Standard.
The provision of WCH housing in the private sector remains largely
discretionary but it is proposed that the matter will be considered further when
drawing up the next Local Development Plan and associated guidance. Our
next LHS will be informed by the outcome of these considerations. 
It has been agreed that more work is required to better understand the future
requirement for homes designed to this standard. Discussions are ongoing with
HSCP to help predict these needs and to consider how best we can gather data. 
Table 3 below shows the numbers of fully WCH homes delivered through the
SHIP over the last 5 years. It shows a generally improving performance in
meeting the 10% target. In certain circumstances the site topography will not
lend itself to the provision of fully wheelchair accessible housing, but even in
such cases, all homes in the SHIP will at least meet Housing for Varying Needs
Standards, with at least one main entrance.

7.3 People with Disabilities and Mobility Issues 
Records show that by category the following numbers of people living with
disabilities reside in West Dunbartonshire: 
• Frail Elderly 65+: 3,297 (of whom 20% have dementia diagnosis)
• Physical Disability Under 65: 301
• Neurological Conditions Under 65: 221 (includes Parkinsons, MND, Epilepsy,
Stroke Disease, Cerebral Palsy, MS, Acquired Brain Injury etc.)
• Children with disabilities (15-20): eighty-eight
• Learning Disability: 394. 
West Dunbartonshire has a 65+ population of 18,495 or 20.8% of the total. This
compares with 17.6% for GG&C and 20.5% for Scotland.  Eighteen percent of our 65+
residents receive social care/support or community alarm/telecare services. 
Page 104

Page 13

The vast majority of those falling into any of these categories will be satisfactorily
housed within mainstream housing, although often with home support. Aids and
adaptations together with better targeted lettings through social housing allocations
will provide the principal routes to addressing accessibility issues for most people. All
homes developed with AHSP funding assistance as a minimum comply with Housing
for Varying Needs Standard, with a quota of at least 10% meeting the higher fully
wheelchair accessible standard. 
We have piloted a Housing for the Older People new build model which provides a
mix of flatted and terraced homes for older people. In addition to the better
accessibility noted above, these homes feature dementia-friendly elements such as
colour coded landings, glass fronted kitchen cabinets and higher electric points
throughout. 
Aids and Adaptations:  The report What’s Next for Adaptations? was published in
August 2025  by the University of Edinburgh in conjunction with Scotland’s leading
housing bodies.  The report warns of an adaptations crisis and urges the Scottish
Government to take more effective action on the issue. It is expected that this
Mount Pleasant Old Kilpatrick - Homes for Older People: Case Study 
Set in the village of Old Kilpatrick, Mount Pleasant is an affordable housing
development for social rent providing 19 new homes for the over 60s, who were
looking to downsize from larger tenanted family homes. The project was
completed in May 2025. 
The social rented homes vacated by tenants moving to Mount Pleasant will be
let to families on our waiting list, an effective way of providing family homes
which are in high demand. 
Designed to Housing for Varying Needs and Dementia Design guidance, the
homes support ageing in place and provide an inclusive community for
residents. 
The development includes 1- and 2- bed homes within three blocks of flats,
terraced bungalows, and cottage flats arranged around a central community
garden. All homes have access to private garden space, via a low maintenance
garden or balcony. 
The garden is a focus and social hub for residents, offering attractive seating
areas and allowing opportunities to participate in growing flowers or vegetables
in the raised beds. 
We believe this is a model of housing which will work well in other locations
across West Dunbartonshire, creating smaller, accessible homes for older
people while freeing up larger homes elsewhere for families.

publication will lead to more debate on the issue, and impact on future policy
development. 
Housing Allocations: WDC, in partnership with several locally operating RSLs, have
introduced a common application form with a view to developing a future integrated
common housing register. It is hoped that such a development will help applicants to
find accommodation to match their needs, including where there are accessibility
issues. 
7.4 People Leaving Supported Accommodation/Care Leavers 
There are several anti-poverty measures in place within West Dunbartonshire  
to support our care experienced young people. These include: 
• Council Tax exemption for care leavers up to the age of 26 years
• Rent abatement for care leavers in ongoing further education (which also includes 
modern apprentice posts), allowing for full access to the Care Experienced bursary. 
• Payment of £2,000 available to Care Leavers for setting up their own first tenancy. 
• There is also the Care Leavers Housing Protocol, which provides care leavers with 
access to affordable, permanent housing. Fifty-one young people have accessed
tenancies.
through this route since 2019, and 85% of the young people have remained in them. 
7.5   Supported Accommodation 
A property within Bridge Street, Alexandria, which is currently owned by West
Dunbartonshire Housing, has been identified as an option for renovation and
refurbishment to provide suitable supported accommodation (6 bedrooms) for
young people who are transitioning from being looked after to independent
living. 
8.     Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan 
8.1   An update is provided monthly on progress on the RRTP to the Council’s
Housing Improvement Board. The key SHIP priorities align with those in the
RRTP, not least in respect of the drive to increase the number of affordable
homes available and in particular the emphasis placed on increasing the
numbers of larger family and 1-bedroom homes. 
8.2    WDC allocates one property in each new AHSP-funded development for
Housing First purposes and encourages all other new housing developers to do
likewise. 
9.     Alignment with Child Poverty Action Report 
Page 106

Page 15

9.1    Addressing Child poverty is a highest-level priority for the Scottish Government.
West Dunbartonshire Council sees enhancing family incomes and reducing the
cost of living as the key focus for addressing the issue.         
9.2    The West Dunbartonshire Local Child Poverty Action Report 2024/2025          
notes the support given through the LHS to assist in addressing child poverty
and undertakes to review further how best to support priority families through
housing measures. 
9.3    Recognising the value of adequate accommodation and the historic under
provision, this SHIP continues to place an emphasis on larger family homes (4-
bed and above) in both the new build and buyback programmes. We will
consider strengthening our commitment to building these larger homes by
amending our Design Standard to require each mainstream project to include a
10% element of larger homes. Energy efficiency is a key element required of
SHIP supported new build projects. We have seen that well-insulated homes
can have a huge impact on reducing home energy bills, a particularly important
positive for larger families. 
9.4    Our buy-back and ROTS schemes also are weighted towards the acquisition of
larger family homes, with four bedrooms and above. 
9.5    The HSCP is developing a new strategic needs assessment for children and
young people, and this is anticipated being available in Autumn 2025. Based on
this information, we will assess how these needs translate into housing
requirements and what this might mean for the SHIP in the future, perhaps
through custom-built solutions. 
10.   Project Assessment Methodology 
10.1  Projects considered for inclusion in the SHIP are subject to a matrix-based
scoring analysis to assess their relative merits. Various criteria are employed in
assessing and prioritising the projects. These are: 
• the strategic priorities of the Council 
• contribution towards meeting the assessed housing need and demand,
including the provision of larger family homes (4 bed and over)
• meeting regeneration and re-provisioning objectives
• SIMD scoring
• affordability
• deliverability including Planning compliance and site constraints  
• level of grant subsidy required. 
10.2 There are information gaps in respect of some projects: these have been listed
on the scoring pro-forma as future sites and will be subject to reassessment
Page 107

Page 16

when the full information is available.   Not all will have been scored as yet.
These may feature in future iterations of the SHIP. 
11.      Fair Work First   
All developers with projects in the SHIP are required to comply with mandatory
Fair Work First criteria and commit to the desirable criteria.   Confirmation of
compliance will be provided to the Scottish Government annually. 
12.     Funding 
12.1   Funding for the projects in this programme comes from two principal sources: 
• the allocation from the Affordable Housing Supply Programme as detailed
at 1.6 above and
• the resources from the housing providers sources, primarily private
borrowing by RSLs and Prudential borrowing by the Council. 
12.2   Unless otherwise known, we assume that both Council and RSL projects will be
seeking grant support of £120,000 per house.  This compares with a current 3-
person equivalent benchmark figure of £87,763 for Councils and £95,741 for
RSLs, although additional grant is payable for projects meeting additional
quality benchmarks, including on low carbon, fire suppression and EV charging.     
We will continue to liaise with Scottish Government More Homes colleagues on
developments which require higher than benchmark awards, especially those
supporting the strategic priority of increasing the supply of larger family
homes.   
12.3   Where a Council House Building project is proposed on a Housing Revenue
Account owned site, it is assumed that there will be no acquisition costs to the
project.   
12.4   In collaboration with the Scottish Government More Homes Division, and
representative bodies such as ALACHO, the Council will continue to consider
alternative and innovative funding proposals for the delivery of affordable
housing.    In addition, we will seek to explore with partner RSLs any
opportunities to support the programme with funding from their financial
reserves or other sources.

14.2   Reserve Projects       
In addition to the projects listed above and designated as priorities, the SHIP
contains several additional projects which may be able to be carried out
towards the end of the plan period.   A number of these projects are quite well
advanced.  Some have been in receipt of AHSP grant funding and in these
cases, there will be a presumption that they will proceed.  Slippage in the
priority programme may allow some to be brought forward more quickly. 
These additional projects are as listed below, but these should be considered
as tentative, with notional numbers at this stage:

14.3   WDC operates a very popular “Buy Back” scheme whereby the Council can re -
purchase vacant homes which are on the market, to help meet strategic
housing objectives.     The SHIP proposes an annual quota of 35 properties at a
minimum £50K AHSP support rate, giving a spend of £1.75m each year on the
Buy Back scheme, or £8.75m over the five-year period.  Similarly, the Rental Off
the Shelf (ROTS) scheme will deliver 47 homes at a cost of £2.3m over the plan
period. 
14.4  Excluding the reserve projects, the SHIP shows the delivery of around 649
additional rented homes over the 5-year plan period. The delivery of this
ambitious plan will depend upon the ongoing support of our developing RSL
partners and generous funding from the Scottish Government.  
Page 112

Page 21

14.5  Our most recent cost monitoring exercise carried out with the Scottish
Government indicated that the funding required to deliver the committed and
priority projects over the five years of this programme to 2030/31 is currently
estimated to be £51.57m.  This compares with an estimated Resource Planning
Target of £30.63m for the same period, though we expect this figure to rise
when details of the multi-year funding are announced.  It is normal to over-
programme the SHIP to account for fluctuations in the programme.   Given the
current unknowns about the projects and the funding, the programme is
heavily weighted towards the early years of the plan period and will be subject
to continuous adjustment.     
14.6  All projects contained in this SHIP are for social rent, alternative tenure options
such as Shared Equity/ Mid-Market Rent will be Caledonia HA have recently
converted a proposed shared equity scheme at Dalquhurn back to social rent
due to concerns over its viability. 
14.7   Due to continuing uncertainties over details of some of the proposed projects
in the SHIP and the availability of funding, the SHIP will require to show
flexibility and be subject to continual monitoring.  Monitoring will be carried
out through the Council’s performance management system and through key
structures such as the More Homes Delivery Group, the Strategic Housing
Providers Forum, Housing Improvement Board and programme review
meetings with the Scottish Government.   
14.8   The Council has carried out an analysis of potential projects against an
objective Prioritisation Scoring Matrix and assessed them accordingly.    A
number of factors are taken into account including availability of land, type of
housing being proposed, compliance with LHS objectives, deliverability and
value for money. This analysis has informed this SHIP. 
14.9   The SHIP scoring matrix contains a longer list of projects which have been
brought forward for consideration. These are considered to be reserve
projects. If there is slippage, or if additional funding becomes available, some
of these projects may be introduced into the programme.  We remain open to
consideration of other projects which may be presented during the course of
this plan period. 
15.   Construction Methodology and Procurement 
15.1 Most of the new builds proposed in the SHIP will be delivered through MMC
methodology, as have most projects during recent years.  We work closely with
our construction company partners to consider the most efficient way of
delivering our programme. 
Page 113

Page 22

15.2 Unfortunately, one company known for this approach, Modular Connect, went
into liquidation mid-contract delaying the completion of our Gilmour Avenue
project.  Luckily, this project was a small one and it is now nearing completion
with an alternative builder. 
15.3   Table 5 at 14.1 above showing the priority projects for the SHIP gives an
indication of the method of construction employed for each project where
known.   
16.   Purchase of Existing Homes through Buyback and ROTS Schemes 
16.1   The Council’s buyback and RSL Rental of the Shelf (ROTS) schemes are vital
measures in increasing the supply of affordable homes across West
Dunbartonshire.   They can supplement the stock generally, contribute to
addressing the housing emergency and help address the historic shortage of
larger family homes. 
16.2   We are placing an increasing emphasis on purchasing larger family home of 4
and more bedrooms, although these are less frequently on the market. 
16.3 There is strong collaboration between the Lead Officer Empty Homes and the
Empty Homes Officer, with the latter recommending for purchase suitable
properties coming to their attention. 
16.4   The table below summarises the Council’s buyback delivery over the last three
years.

16.5   Two RSLs in West Dunbartonshire, Knowes and Dalmuir Park, are now taking
part in the ROTS scheme.  We encourage others to do likewise.  We know that
most of the RSL acquisitions coming through this route are being allocated via
Section 5 referrals, an outcome helpful in addressing the homelessness crisis.
Numbers for anticipated acquisitions during the period of the SHIP are shown
in Table 3 above.   We remain open to conversations with RSLs on how ROTS
acquisitions can be increased to meet strategic priorities. 
17.  Gypsy/Traveller Sites 
Page 114

Page 23

17.1   The WDC gypsy/traveller site at Dennystoun Forge, Dumbarton features in the
SHIP as a priority project, with a site start due to take place in 2026/27. The
project will see the provision of new chalet accommodation to replace the
unsatisfactory arrangements currently in place.   
17.2   WDC welcomes to the mainstreaming of projects of this nature under the
AHSP and appreciates the new guidance on the details of how funding will be
applied in such projects.  It is recognised that there are significant differences
from mainstream projects, and this is reflected in the guidance, not least in
respect of Scottish Government grant support for decanting costs. 
17.3   The regeneration of the Dennystoun Forge has been scored a high priority for
this SHIP, with a proposed site start during 2026/27. This project has been the
subject of intensive consultation with the gypsy/traveller community, with the
helpful involvement of MECOPP, the charity in the forefront of helping gypsy
/traveller communities achieve quality of life improvements.   
17.4   There are currently no transit sites within West Dunbartonshire. With a view to
informing the forthcoming Local Development Plan, engagement has taken
place with the resident gypsy/traveller community on the need for such
provision, and it may be the case that funding will be sought for this purpose at
a future date. 
18.  Key Worker Housing Projects 
18.1 There are no projects currently identified specifically for housing key workers.  
However, we are aware that consideration may be given to expansion of the
Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank which could create future demand for such a
project.   Projects of this nature may be suited to intermediate /MMR products. 
18.2 West Dunbartonshire Council has not sought to access the Scottish
Government’s Affordable Rural Homes for Key Workers Fund in relation to the
small part of the authority where this might be eligible.  We would give this
consideration if any opportunities arose to improve affordable housing options
for key workers. 
19. Consultation 
19.1 This SHIP has been prepared in consultation with all RSLs operating in West
Dunbartonshire who were approached with a “call for sites” for consideration
for inclusion in the programme. 
19.2 Consultations with the West Dunbartonshire Council Tenants and Residents
Organisation (WDTRO,) including a presentation to their Board in October 2025,
have evidenced their backing for the Plan.  The Council’s More Homes West
Dunbartonshire approach has evidenced strong support from council tenants
and was recently highlighted as one of the two key future spending priority areas 
Page 115

Page 24

for tenants through the comprehensive tenant satisfaction survey undertaken in
late 2024.   
19.3 The SHIP was the subject of a discussion at the Strategic Housing Providers
Forum and subsequent individual meetings took place with potential
developing associations in conjunction with the Scottish Government More
Homes Division. 
19.4 The Scottish Government’s More Homes Division, Glasgow and Clyde Team
were involved throughout in the preparation of this SHIP. 
20.  Vacant and Derelict Infrastructure Fund/Regeneration Capital Grant Fund 
20.1   The Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF) streamlines the funding
previously delivered through the Vacant and Derelict Investment Programme
(VDLIP) and RCGF through a single fund to support place-based community-led
regeneration 
20.2   Housing and Planning in West Dunbartonshire work together to maximise
access to infrastructure grants to enable new housing development.   We were
successful in attracting almost £1m from the RCGF which allowed our new
build at Pappert to go ahead, overcoming considerable topographical
difficulties.   
21.  Empty and Second Homes Actions 
21.1 The West Dunbartonshire Empty Homes Strategy 2024 – 2029 was published in
November 2024.    It contains an action plan outlining the key measures being
taken to bring vacant homes into use, including one on the close working
arrangement between the Empty Homes Officer and the Buy Back Lead Officer,
for example in identifying homes suitable for acquisition for affordable
housing, with a total of 12 purchased by WDC over the last 3 years. 
21.2   As well as bringing empty homes back into use and contributing to addressing
housing needs, communities across West Dunbartonshire have seen the
benefits brought about by the work done through this strategy, particularly
where long-term blights on their neighbourhoods have been resolved.  The
table below shows the numbers brought back into use over the last three
years, and the time they had lain vacant.

21.3   The Empty Homes Officer also works with RSLs across West Dunbartonshire to
assist their efforts to bring vacant properties back into use. 
21.4   Additional council tax income raised from empty, and second homes is
currently not ring-fenced to support the provision of affordable housing. 
22.    Developer Contributions   
22.1 The Council does not apply S75 arrangements with new housing developers but
instead allocates housing sites by tenure, seeking to achieve an appropriate
balance.  Consequently, there are no Developer Contributions providing
support to the programme. It is proposed that this position will be reviewed as
part of the new LDP preparation. 
23.     Constraints to Delivery 
23.1   Scottish Government guidance indicates that SHIPs should have an emphasis
on deliverability.   In preparing the SHIP, every effort has been made to take
account of any constraints that may affect the delivery of the projects, and this
is taken account of in the assessment scoring. 
23.2   A number of the projects contained in this SHIP are at the early stage of their
development and the full issues/constraints are not known at this stage.  For
example, a number of the projects contained within the SHIP are not at the
stage of having Planning consent. 
24.   Local Authority Assistance in the Delivery of the SHIP 
24.1 The Council is committed to assist where possible in the delivery of the SHIP
projects within the context of the More Homes West Dunbartonshire initiative
as outlined in the Local Housing Strategy.   
24.2 Within the Council, the officers’ More Homes Project Board monitors the
delivery of the new council home element of the programme and will continue
to seek to identify additional sites to extend the Council’s new build
programme, supported by prudential borrowing, the AHSP and the Council’s
rent pooling strengths.  The Council’s element of the programme will be carried
out in-house by our Housing Service, with the assistance of Corporate
Procurement, demonstrating efficiency and best value in the process.   
Page 117

Page 26

24.3 Vacant sites in the Housing Revenue Account, or areas of surplus stock, will
generally be available to support the development of social rented housing.  
The Council has identified a series of Strategic Development sites including
former school sites, some of which will be made available for affordable
housing projects.  Housing will continue work closely with Planning colleagues
to ensure an adequate supply of development land to meet the increased
targets within the context of the Local Development Plan and Housing Land
Audit.   In particular, we will engage with Planning colleagues over the housing
content of the forthcoming new LDP which is scheduled to be adopted in 2028. 
25.    Energy Efficiency, Environmental Standards and Sustainability   
25.1  Local Authorities are among a wide range of public bodies required to meet
the duties place on them by the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009.1    In this
context, developments arising from the SHIP must take account of the change
agenda.  New Build developments must contribute to the Single Outcome
Agreement local outcome commitment to reduce fuel poverty. 
25.2  The Council has introduced a pioneering a new higher standard for Council and
Housing Association homes being built in West Dunbartonshire.  The West
Dunbartonshire Design Standard applies to all new build projects being
supported by the Affordable Housing Supply Programme and requires these
homes to meet a higher standard than the statutory minimum.  New homes
constructed under this scheme will achieve at least an Energy Efficiency Rating
of B and an Environmental Impact Rating of B.   As well as improving energy
efficiency, the policy will encourage better external design and internal space
standards. The Design Standard was shortlisted for the prestigious Chartered
Institute of Housing (Scotland) 2016 National Good Practice Excellence Awards
in the category “Excellence in Housing Innovation”.  The West Dunbartonshire
Design Standard will be reviewed in 2026 with a view to improving the
standard of new affordable housing still further. 
25.3   West Dunbartonshire Council is part of Scotland’s Housing Network, a
benchmarking and practice exchange organisation covering over 120 local
authorities and RSLs across Scotland, representing almost 90% of the sector’s
stock.  We are engaged with the work the SHN is doing, in partnership with the
Scottish Government, on a housing development performance framework for
benchmarking of new build projects.   
25.4  The Council continues to encourage the consideration of district heating
systems or other innovative measures which contribute to meeting climate
change objectives.  For example, the new homes at Queens Quay benefit from
the ambitious district heating scheme forming a part of the Clydebank
waterfront development.   
26. Equalities Issues 
Page 118

Page 27

26.1 West Dunbartonshire Council is committed to delivering good quality services
which are underpinned by a clear understanding of Equality and Diversity and
to promoting and sustaining equality and inclusion, and equality and diversity
principles. 
26.2 An integrated Equalities impact assessment was carried out which predicted
that the Local Housing Strategy would have an overwhelmingly positive
impact. 
27. Strategic Environmental Assessment 
27.1   A Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) pre-screening report has been
carried out in respect of the parent Local Housing Strategy.  The Council has
determined that a SEA is not required in this instance. 
28.   Monitoring 
29.1 Monitoring of progress will be carried out through the Council’s performance
management system and through key structures such as the Housing Providers
Forum, the Housing Improvement Board, the More Homes Project Board and
programme review meetings with the Scottish Government.   A new SHIP will
be submitted annually to the Scottish Government each October and will be
the subject of a report to the Housing and Communities Committee.
