CAPITAL PLAN SUMMARY REPORT 
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
1.1  This report details the revisions proposed to the capital plan approved in
February 2022 for the period 2023-24 to 2024-25 and extends the capital plan
for a further year to 2025-26. The revisions are based on updated capital funding
assumptions, phasing and cost changes. 
1.2 The Council has experienced a reduction in the level of its General Capital Grant
settlement over the last four years, falling from £12.262m in 2019-20 to £9.771m
in 23-24 which has put significant pressure on the ability to deliver the capital
programme. This pressure is amplified further by the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic along with the UK exit from the European Union, the Russian invasion
of Ukraine and sanctions on Russian owned entities which have resulted in
significant price increases as well as disruptions to the supply chain and longer
lead in times. These all have an effect on the overall contract price and make it
extremely challenging to manage expenditure and the availability of supply
across the life of the programme. 
1.3 In February 2022 the Council approved estimated capital grant settlements for
2023-24 and 2024-25 of £9.724m to reflect what was actually received in 2022-
23. This estimation was based on the Capital Spending Review undertaken by
Scottish Government which advised that the capital settlements were likely to
stay constant over the next five years. During the budget planning process for
2023-24 this assumption was extended to 2025-26 and was the basis on which
the Asset Management Plans were prepared. 
1.4 The settlement received for 2023-24, excluding any ring-fenced funding, was
£9.771m therefore £0.047m more than anticipated. This results in an increase
across the already approved capital programme of £0.094m for 2023-24 and
2024-25 combined, plus a further increase of £0.047m in 2025-26 if the Service
resource allocations are to remain constant. Therefore a total increase in
General Capital Grant funding across the life of the capital programme of
£0.141m.  
1.5  In addition to the £9.771m general capital grant there is ring-fenced funding of
£5.424m for Campbeltown Flood Protection Scheme, £0.376m for Walking
Cycling & Safer Streets, £0.157m for Playparks and £2.127m for Free School
Meals. These funding streams will also be built into the capital programme. 
1.6 The amount of capital resources allocated to Private Sector Housing Grant
(PSHG) is £1.033m per annum, similar to previous years.

Page 2

1.7 Restricted capital funding of £6.501m is noted within Appendix 2.  This relates to
income which is restricted to specific projects and has been matched with
expenditure against the project, thereby showing the gross cost of the project. 
1.8 The capital plan as at December 2022, including the new block allocation for
2025-26, has been compared to the estimated funding and there is a gap up to
2025-26 of £0.278m. After adjusting for the anticipated shortfalls and cost
pressures as detailed within section 3.5.1 of this report, the total gap within the
capital programme is £0.725m.

CAPITAL PLAN SUMMARY REPORT 
2. INTRODUCTION 
2.1  This report details the revisions proposed to the capital plan approved in
February 2022 for the period 2023-24 to 2024-25 and extends the capital plan
for a further year to 2025-26. The revisions are based on updated capital
funding assumptions, phasing and cost changes. 
3. DETAIL 
3.1 Estimated Capital Funding 2023-24 to 2025-26 
3.1.1 Funding for the capital plan comes from the Scottish Government (General
Capital Grant and Specific Ring-Fenced Capital Grants), other capital grants,
capital receipts from asset disposals, revenue contributions to capital,
prudential borrowing and borrowing funded by the loan charges provision in the
revenue budget. 
3.1.2 The Local Government Finance Circular published on 20 December 2022
provides detail of the provisional total revenue and capital funding allocations
for 2023-24. The provisional total funding allocations form the basis for the
annual consultation between the Scottish Government and COSLA ahead of
the Local Government Finance (Scotland) Order 2022 being presented to the
Scottish Parliament in late February 2023. 
3.1.3 The General Capital Grant allocation for 2023-24, excluding any ring-fenced
funding amounts to £9.771m which includes a general capital grant flooding
allocation of £0.155m.   
3.1.4 The estimated General Capital Grant for 2025-26 was based on the 2022-23
settlement of £9.724m therefore comparing this to the settlement for 2023-24,
and again taking into account the flooding allocation of £0.155m, this results in
an increase of £0.047m in 2025-26. The Scottish Government had previously
advised that the indicative General Capital Grant settlements up to 2025-26
would remain constant at the same level as the 2021-22 settlement. 
3.1.5  The amount of capital resources allocated to Private Sector Housing Grant
(PSHG) is £1.033m per annum.  This amount has remained at the same level
since 2016-17. The settlement from the Scottish Government includes an
allocation of £0.941m for Private Sector Housing therefore £0.092m less each
year than what is currently built in to the budget position. To reduce the
allocation by £0.092m each year would result in a saving of £0.276m across the
three years. Members may wish to review the amount allocated to PSHG.

Page 4

3.1.6 As part of the revision to the funding assumptions for the capital plan, a detailed
review of anticipated capital receipts has been undertaken by Commercial
Services. During 2022-23 the level of capital receipts has fallen below what was
estimated which has an impact on the funding of the capital programme.
Despite adding on the anticipated capital receipts for 2025-26 there is still an
estimated overall reduction in sales income across the capital programme of
£0.037m. The estimated level of receipts will be kept under review as market
conditions change, as will values following due diligence undertaken by
prospective purchasers on the condition of asset. The assets to be disposed of
are listed in Appendix 1.   
3.1.7 The restricted capital funding of £6.501m is noted within Appendix 2.  This
relates to income which is restricted to specific projects and has been matched
with expenditure against the project, thereby showing the gross cost of the
project. 
3.1.8 Included in the funding table below is prudential borrowing in relation to the
Harbour Investment Programme. The Council is currently working to a ten year
asset management plan for Piers and Harbours which is being funded through
prudential borrowing utilising a fee increase over and above inflation to pay for
the loan charges incurred. 
3.1.9 There is also funding from the loans fund review, earmarked reserves, COVID-
19 funding and previously agreed additional funding allocations made. 
3.1.10 The estimated capital funding to 2025-26 is set out in the table below.

3.3 Proposed Revisions to Capital Plan 
3.3.1  As part of the capital planning process, departments reviewed the approved
capital plan in terms of the timing and cost of projects and updated the Service
Asset Management Plans (SAMPs) or Group Asset Management Plan (GAMP)
accordingly. 
3.3.2 The main adjustments reflect the inclusion of additional funding for flood
prevention totalling £0.233m, Cycling Walking Safer Streets funding totalling
£0.376m, Place Demonstrator Funding of £0.664m for Our Modern Workspace
and Free School Meals totalling £2.934m. This results in additional funding and
additional expenditure so has no overall impact to the budget gap.

3.4 Proposed Block Allocations 2025-26 
3.4.1  The block allocation to Services for 2025-26 is based on the General Capital
Grant award for 2022-23 of £9.724m less the flooding allocation of £0.155m and
adjusted to remove the PSHG allocation of £1.033m leaving a block allocation
available to spend on capital projects of £8.536m. 
3.4.2 The block allocation is allocated to services based on a proportionate
percentage basis. Services have each prepared SAMPs in which they outline
the projects they would propose to spend their block allocation on.   
3.5 Anticipated Shortfalls, Cost Pressures and Risks Identified 
Anticipated Shortfalls 
3.5.1 As part of the Service Asset Management plans, two anticipated shortfalls
amounting to £0.447m have been identified that require additional funding over
and above the block allocation. The first totalling £0.137m relates to the
replacement of two ICT systems which are both approaching end of contract
and replacement costs are higher. The second relates to cemeteries and totals
£0.310m. There are six cemeteries that have an operational life of 5 years or
less based on the number of lairs left therefore this would support their
extension.

Page 7

Further Cost Pressures and Risks 
3.5.2  As capital projects are based on cost estimates at a point in time, there is
always a risk they will cost more than originally planned, particularly where there
has been project delays.  Where there are major change projects there is a high
likelihood of the project requiring more budget than is currently in the capital
programme which has been emphasised over the last two years with projects
still catching up from the impact of COVID-19. 
3.5.3 Although the direct impact of COVID on most local services has reduced or
even ceased altogether over the last 12 months, COVID-19 in conjunction with
the UK exit from the European Union and the Russian invasion of Ukraine,
continues to affect worldwide supply chains. This has the impact of reducing the
availability of supplies and materials resulting in cost increases through a
combination of higher prices and longer materials delivery lead times. 
In recent years additional funding of £8.803m has been allocated to the capital
programme for this purpose which has mitigated the impact to date however, as
detailed in the table below, only £0.703m remains unallocated to projects facing
inflationary pressures. 
3.5.4 Following the decision at the Policy and Resources Committee on 9th December
2021, the Rothesay Pavilion project is on pause due to a substantial increase in
the project costs as a result of the main contractor going into administration in
March 2020. The future of the project and its costs remain uncertain at this time
whilst additional funding is sought to bring it to a conclusion. 
3.5.5 
3.5.6 
In previous years, since the Capital Grant settlement has declined, additional
funding has been allocated to the Roads Reconstruction Service to ensure
Roads are maintained to an adequate standard. If no additional funding is
allocated to future years during this budget setting process then there will be a
significant drop off in funding for this Service which would result in the
deterioration of the condition of roads. The Roads Service have done some
analysis work around this which has demonstrated that an annual investment of
£3m would lead to substantial deterioration of the overall roads condition, an
annual investment of £5m would be a slower deterioration, an £8m annual
investment would result in a steady state of roads condition and an £11m
annual investment for the next 20 years would see a substantial improvement.
The current allocation in 2023-24 is £3.4m. 
As mentioned in paragraph 3.5.1, ICT face an immediate shortfall in 2023-24
relating to the replacement of two ICT systems which has been included within
the budget gap figures reported. They also face pressures in future years and

current projections suggest there will be an unfunded shortfall in 2024-25 of
£0.323m and in 2025-26 of £0.120m relating to PC Replacement, Telecomms
Infrastructure and Server Sustainability. 
There is also a pressure beyond 2023-24 in relation to the ban on
biodegradable municipal waste being disposed of via landfill from 2025. A
capital cost pressure of £3.5m is currently anticipated in addition to revenue
pressures. A report outlining the options available was presented to the
Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee on 1 December 2022
and Members may wish to consider utilising some of the one-off gain from
Service Concessions to fund this pressure. 
The Council has submitted an application to the Scottish Government Learning
Estate Investment Programme (LEIP). The initial financial case suggests the
total construction cost for Mull School would be in the region of up to £35.5m.
The Council would be responsible for the upfront cost of any infrastructure
required and the Scottish Government will provide revenue funding through an
annual payment over 25 years on the basis that certain outcomes have been
achieved.  The funding of the project will be a mixture of Scottish Government
Funding, Council funding and borrowing.  The more capital funding the Council
can provide the less borrowing and revenue pressure. 
3.5.9  The Capital Programme has been structured to address the majority of the
Council’s high risk assets.  In 2023-24, service asset managers will develop
business cases and plans to tackle the other high risk assets which are not
addressed by projects within the Capital Programme for 2023-24 to 2025-26.
3.6 Funding Options Identified to reduce gap and address pressures 
3.6.1 
3.6.2
A separate report is contained within the budget back regarding a Service
Concession one-off gain totalling £35.9m. Members may wish to consider
allocating some of this funding to the pressures and risks outlined in paragraphs
3.5.2 to 3.5.9. 
Other sources of funding could be utilised such as the Recovery and Renewal
fund of £1.360m. This provision was created for future recovery, regeneration
and renewal, as well as any future pressures which may arise following the
Covid-19 pandemic through a dedicated Recovery and Renewal Fund.   
3.6.3 
3.6.4
The PSHG allocation could be reduced to match actual funding received from
the Scottish Government which would generate a saving of £0.276m across
three years. 
Historically capital receipts were allocated on the basis of 50% of proceeds to a
central capital fund, 20% to the area in which the asset is sold and 10% to each
of the other three areas. This has not happened since before 2017-18 when the
Capital Grant settlement reduced and the receipts were required to balance the
capital programme. The £1.5m sitting within the centre is included within the
management/operational savings within the revenue budget report included in
this pack, however there are also historical balances within control accounts for
each of the areas which again have also not been utilised since pre 2017-18. It

Page 9

is recommended that these balances are transferred to the current capital
programme to fund the pressures faced. These total £0.071m as follows: 
Area Amount
£m
Mid Argyll Kintyre & Islay  0.005
Oban Lorne & the Isles 0.050
Bute & Cowal 0.015
Helensburgh & Lomond 0.001
Total 0.071 
3.6.5  Borrowing could be taken out to cover the gap in the programme however this
creates a revenue cost. To use borrowing to fund the £0.725m gap currently
identified would create an annual revenue pressure of £0.046m. 
3.7 Comparison of Revised Plan to Estimated Capital Funding 
3.7.1  The capital plan as at 31 December 2022, including the new block allocation for
2025-26, has been compared to the estimated funding (noted in section 3.1).

4. CONCLUSION 
4.1 
4.2
The capital plan funding assumptions have been updated, the plan extended for
a further year and block allocations allocated to services for the additional year. 
Taking into consideration the current capital programme, anticipated shortfalls
and cost pressures there is a reported gap of £0.725m. If borrowing was taken
out to fund this gap it would create a revenue cost pressure of £0.046m per
annum. 
The capital programme faces other significant pressures in the years beyond
2023-24 with the key areas highlighted within section 3.5 of this report.
Consideration should also be given as to how these can be funded and the further
pressures highlighted within the GAMP/SAMPs. 
4.3  Estimated funding for the 2025-26 capital programme has been based on the
General Capital Grant received in 2022-23. The Scottish Government has
previously confirmed that the indicative General Capital Grant settlements up to
2025-26 will remain constant at the same level as the 2021-22 settlement
therefore this was a prudent approach at that time.
5. IMPLICATIONS 
5.1 Policy – Sets out the approach to capital planning. 
5.2 Financial – Outlines the funding and commitments for the capital plan 2022-26. 
5.3 Legal - The funding for new expenditure may not address all the Statutory and
Regulatory requirements in relation to Health and safety.   
5.4 HR - There are risks that the funding available will have an impact on the
sustainability of the Property Design Team and the design team within Roads and
Amenity Services. 
5.5
5.5.1
5.5.2
5.5.3
Fairer Scotland Duty – None. 
Equalities – None. 
Socio-Economic Duty – None. 
Islands Duty – None. 
5.6 Climate Change – The Council is committed to addressing climate change and
reviews of how Services are delivered is ongoing within the available budget
resources. 
5.7 Risk - There are risks around level of capital receipts which could result in red
risk assets not being addressed. 
5.7 Customer Service – None.
