A review of the 2020/21 programme has been carried out to optimise the works to be carried out in the year.

HRA - new builds To deliver new build housing in line with the development pipeline programme.  HRA New Builds 2020/21 Quarter One Updated New Build programmes are detailed below: The forecasted spend for 2020/21 is £3.883m and is made up of the below schemes: Scheme 2020/21 Forecasted Expenditure Type of Scheme Hexham Close £1.481m 24 affordable rent units Edinburgh Close £0.780m 35 social rent units and 18 shared ownership units 2 x Acquisitions £0.061m 2 social rent units ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Street £0.726m 16 shared ownership units ▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue £0.056m 2 social rent units Truro Avenue £0.156m 8 social rent units St ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Phase 2 £0.423m 13 social rent units and 55 shared ownership units Leicester Street £0.200m 8 social rent units Affordable Homes (SHL) To deliver new build housing in line with the development pipeline programme. 2020/21 Programme The borrowing requirement for 2020/21 is £17.863m, which covers the below schemes: o Hempshaw Lane (Offerton) – the borrowing for 144 units which are a mix of shared ownership, affordable rent and outright sale, with an anticipated completion date of November 2021. o Booth Street (Edgeley) – the borrowing for a mix of 35 social rented units and 12 units for shared ownership, with an anticipated completion date of May 21. o ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Road (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) – 12 units for social rent, 68 units for shared ownership and 7 units for outright sale, with an anticipated completion date of October 2021. o Hopes ▇▇▇▇ Retail & Phase 3 (Town Centre) – converting retail units into 4 accessible affordable rented units. Phase 3 includes 12 units for shared ownership and 2 affordable rented units. o Move on Fund (Various across the borough) - 12 self-contained one bed properties for social rent. Its focus is to support homeless people and those who have suffered domestic abuse who are either sleeping rough or living in hostels and refuges. o 96 & 98 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) – for the purchase of two terraced properties for let for the exclusive use by Children’s Services. 2021/22 onwards programme The borrowing requirements for 2021/22 onwards for schemes which have received approval to start on site is forecast at £8.691m. The forecasted borrowing requirement for 2020/21 covers the remainder of the above and the following scheme: o ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ House (Edgeley) – for the purchase of a two-storey block of flats let for the exclusive use by Children’s Services. In addition to the above there is also £22.655m (this assumes the two- year loan provision is required) of borrowing which may be required for schemes that have been identified but are yet to receive approval. Disabled Facilities Grant Disabled Facilities Grants are provided to facilitate the provision of major adaptations or changes to non-council owned housing (i.e. owner occupied, private rented and housing association) to meet the assessed needs of disabled people. Typical examples would include stair lifts, bathroom adaptations, door widening and substantial ramps. The impact of the national and local lockdown in response to the Covid- 19 outbreak has been, and continues to be, significant for the delivery of Disabled Facilities Grant. This is a mandatory demand led service, involving assessments of personal need and then building works in the homes of our most vulnerable residents. As many of these residents continue to shield/are extremely nervous of allowing people into their homes despite risk assessments and relevant measures being put in place, we have seen a reduction in requests for assessments, and a backlog of assessments particularly where access cannot be agreed. Based on present information available for all stages of the assessment and delivery process, and assuming that no further out-breaks of Covid- 19 occur, it is anticipated that the year-end out-turn will be £1.000m. There is an expectation that requests for assessments may well increase as a result of pent up demand when the pandemic finally subsides. Additionally, there will be a further £0.550m spend on Children’s/Care Act eligible disabled residents who do not meet/works exceed the mandatory DFG criteria. Strategic Housing - Renewal This funding is utilised under the Private Housing Investment and Assistance Policy on Home Repairs Assistance (to address serious assessed housing hazards for vulnerable owner occupiers with an emphasis on enabling them to remain in their own homes) and Priority Neighbourhood Assistance to support external block improvement work on former right to buy properties within council housing investment programmes – the current PNA works relate to external energy efficiency upgrade works to blocks of houses on the Offerton estate. Both programmes have been affected by the pandemic, and whilst works are now back on site, this has particularly impacted on timescales on the PNA programme.
