Strategic Housing Investment Plan
Executive Summary
All local authorities are required to submit an annual Strategic Housing Investment Plan
(SHIP) to the Scottish Government that sets key priorities in relation to the provision of
affordable housing in their areas and the level of investment required to deliver this. This
SHIP has been prepared at a time of significant uncertainty for public sector expenditure.
In 2009-10, investment in new affordable housing in the Council area was higher than it
has ever been at £9.134m, however, in the light of the Strategic Spending Review, the
Scottish Government has now asked local authorities to consider the impact of a potential
25% cut in funding for new housing over the next five years and has cautioned that a 40%
cut may be a possibility. The potential impact of cuts of this scale on the Falkirk Council
area are set out in Section 6 of this SHIP. In this context it is more important than ever
that every effort is made to maximise the impact of every pound available.
Against this background of anticipated cuts, this SHIP sets out a clear programme for the
delivery of new affordable housing in the Council area for the next five years. It has been
structured in such a way that projects can be brought forward if additional funding
becomes available. The programme is founded upon close partnership working between
the Council and its development partners and openness and transparency underpin the
joint work undertaken with the aim of providing new homes and more choice for people in
housing need.
A summary of the key facts underpinning this SHIP is set out below:
• Research undertaken in 2007 indicated that there was an annual shortfall of 145
affordable homes across the Council area over the next ten years, with
particular pressures in Polmont, Larbert, Stenhousemuir and the Rural North. A
new Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) is currently being
finalised and will provide new planning figures that will inform the next Local
Housing Strategy (LHS). The new LHS which will cover the period 2011-16, will
be published next Autumn and will set out the context for the 2012-17 and
subsequent SHIPs.
• The need to ensure that there is a sufficient land supply to meet the requirement
for affordable housing will continue to be a priority during the period of this
SHIP. Since the last SHIP was prepared, a significant amount of work has been
done to review the Council’s land holding in order to identify areas of land that
have the potential to deliver new affordable housing – details are set out in
Section 4 of this document.
• There is a clear need to continue the twin-track approach to increasing the
provision of new affordable housing in the Council area by both the Council and
RSLs. New homes can only be delivered where the Council and its
development partners work together to achieve agreed aims. Work continues to
try to address the difficult issues which can sometime arise in the
implementation of agreed planning policies where there is local opposition to
new housing development.
• New housing provision is underpinned by investment strategies that seek to
improve the quality of the existing housing stock across all sectors.
5

• The needs of those who have particular housing requirements are currently
being assessed in partnership with the Council’s Social Work Services and
those Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) who currently provide housing in the
area for people with particular needs. There are specific issues in relation to the
provision of housing for older people and for people with physical disabilities.
• Most of the existing housing stock for older people was built in the 1970s and
80s when housing expectations were quite different to what they are today.
Social and public health policy is now to enable people with additional needs to
be cared for in their own homes and the significant developments in recent
years in assistive technology now makes this a more attractive option for many
older people than moving to some form of specialist housing. This change will
need to be reflected in the next LHS.
• Although the majority of older people in the future may be enabled to continue to
live in their current home, there will still be a need for specialist provision for
those whose home cannot be made safe or comfortable for them and for those
who prefer to live in accommodation in a group setting where they can benefit
from additional security and social interaction with people of their own
generation. Clearly, finding a new balance of housing provision for older people
is an issue that will need to be explored in the coming year as the new LHS is
developed. In this context, there will be a need to consider how well the existing
housing stock for older people meets needs now and has the potential to meet
changing needs in the future. It is anticipated that the 2012-17 SHIP will identify
a requirement for an element of stock reconfiguration in respect of Housing with
Care.
• In 2009-10, the Council received £9.134m of funding from the Scottish
Government’s core Affordable Housing Investment Programme (AHIP) which
allowed the completion of 123 new affordable homes. A further 27 affordable
homes were delivered through the Mortgage to Rent scheme (MTR) and the
Open Market Shared Equity Pilot scheme (OMSE).
• The Council’s core AHIP funding allocation for 2010-11 is £5.341m which has,
to date, allowed the completion of 90 new affordable homes. A further 26 new
homes are currently under construction and will be completed by the end of this
financial year.
• The Council has completed 12 new affordable homes this year as part of the
Council’s New Build Programme and a further 60 homes are currently under
construction.
• A further 18 affordable homes have been delivered so far this year through the
Mortgage to Rent scheme and the Open Market Shared Equity Pilot scheme.
• The Scottish Government’s 2010-11 unit approval target is 56 new affordable
homes comprising projects in Bridge Street, Bonnybridge, Overton Crescent,
Redding and Bellsdyke Road, Larbert.
6

• This SHIP is based on a total core AHIP requirement of £22m over 5 years.
This figure is derived from the 2010-11 AHIP allocation of £5.341m with
resource planning assumptions based on a 25 per cent reduction over the first
four years of the 2011-2016 SHIP.
• Allowing for the deduction of £1m required to deliver adaptations in RSL
properties 1 over the 5 years of the SHIP, it is assumed that the residual AHIP
resources available to deliver new affordable homes between 2011 and 2016
will be around £21m but this figure may be cut depending on the level of savings
that the Scottish Government requires to make from the AHIP.
• Based on an average grant requirement of £70k per unit for new RSL properties
for rent, £21m could deliver approximately 300 new social rented homes over
the 5 year period of the SHIP. However, as the grant requirement for low cost
home ownership initiatives is lower, more new homes could be built if some of
the allocation is used for this purpose. This issue will be the subject of
consultation in the development of priorities for the 2011-16 LHS.
• A 12% allowance has been built into the programme to accommodate any
slippage which might occur.
• This SHIP includes 16 partnership projects, comprising 352 dwellings delivered
by 7 RSL partners.
• This SHIP also covers the Council’s New Build Programme which aims to
provide 120 new affordable rented homes over the period of the SHIP, at an
estimated total cost of £12.07m.
• As well as built-in slippage to the main programme, the SHIP submission also
includes a Shadow Programme of 15 potential projects comprising 346
affordable homes which could be brought forward if additional funding becomes
available.
• Partnership work continues to address constraints that could impact on the
successful delivery of the SHIP such as flood risks, infrastructure provision,
contaminated land, access issues and so on.

1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) is to set out key
investment priorities and the level of investment required to deliver them in relation
to the provision of affordable housing in the Falkirk Council area over the next five
years, taking account of the housing needs identified through the Local Housing
Strategy (LHS) process. The programme is based upon meeting the Council’s
strategic objectives, set out in the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) 2009-11 and
LHS 2004-09, of regenerating priority areas, redeveloping or refurbishing low
demand stock and increasing the availability of a range of new affordable housing
options. Whilst the SHIP focuses mainly on new housing provision by RSLs, it also
takes account of the Council’s new house building programme as well as the
current economic situation which means that there is little chance of the private
house building industry making any significant contribution to the provision of
affordable housing in the area in the immediate future.
1.2 This SHIP sets out the resources required to deliver a local affordable housing
programme taking account of the range of available funding streams which includes
Housing Association Grant (HAG) and funding for Council house new build (see
Appendices 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e). In taking a strategic overview of potential
development opportunities, the SHIP identifies deliverable housing projects for the
coming five year period. In addition, a “shadow” programme has been developed
to allow projects to be brought forward should additional funding become available.
In doing this, the intention has been to prepare a realistic and deliverable plan
which will provide a sound basis for continuing discussions with the Housing &
Regeneration Directorate, RSLs and other partner agencies over the planning
period.
1.3 Projects that are currently on site or will be on site before 1 April 2011 are not
included in the templates (Appendix 1a) but are shown in the 5 year SHIP
Summary Programme (Appendix 1b) and the 5 year SHIP Financial Profile
(Appendix 1c) to outline current grant commitments over the period of the SHIP.
Sites that are in the future project category but are not anticipated to be on site
before the end of the 5 year SHIP are also detailed in Appendices 1b, 1c and 1d.
The “shadow” programme that can be brought forward if there is any slippage in the
main programme, or if additional resources become available, is set out in
Appendix 1d.
Background - LHS 2004-09 Stock Strategy
1.4 During the period of the 2004-09 LHS, the Council pursued a selective stock
disposal strategy based on an assessment of stock conditions, investment
requirements, housing demand, development potential and tenants’ views. This
LHS strategy recognised that a concentration of low demand housing can have a
serious blighting effect on communities and that redevelopment opportunities
afforded by such circumstances allow for the provision of new housing which better
meets modern needs and the aspirations of local people. The provision of new
affordable housing has been one of several key outcomes of housing regeneration
strategies in the Council area since the LHS 2004-09 was agreed (and
subsequently extended by the Interim LHS Statement published in May 2010) and
is one of the main priorities contained within the Council’s strategic plans.
9

1.5 Against the strategic background of the 2004-09 LHS and 2010 LHS Interim
Statement, the projects which form the new development opportunities within this
SHIP flow from the findings of local housing needs assessment work undertaken in
2007. The positioning of individual projects within the 5 year programme is based
on a balancing of the highest strategic priorities, available resources and
deliverability. The methodology and criteria for prioritising projects is detailed in
Section 6. The most deliverable projects are planned for the start of the 5 year
programme whilst those projects which present the most constraints are placed
further on in the programme to allow adequate time for them to be resolved or
replaced with alternative projects in future SHIPs.
1.6 The level of grant funding that is likely to be available over the period of this SHIP
does mean that whilst some progress can be made on addressing the annual
shortfall of 145 affordable homes across the Council area, it will not be possible to
meet this shortfall in full. Given the current economic recession and the
consequent downturn in the house building industry, there is little chance that
private developers will be able to contribute significantly to the shortfall. This
leaves the onus of meeting the need for affordable housing on the Council and its
RSL partners, who will continue to explore initiatives to try to increase the supply
and range of affordable housing options in the area.
1.7 The National Housing Trust (NHT) initiative is a new concept which aims to
increase the supply of affordable housing across Scotland and Falkirk Council is
one of twelve local authorities across Scotland which is participating in this scheme.
The scheme uses local authorities’ prudential borrowing capacity to help fund new
housing developments which will make housing let at mid-market rents available for
between five and ten years during which time it is anticipated that the private
housing market will recover sufficiently for developers to be able to sell the units.
This housing option will not suit everyone but it may provide an additional choice for
people who ultimately aspire to owning their own home but who cannot currently
access mortgage finance for this. The procurement phase of the NHT is currently
underway and it is hoped that up to 100 new homes can be provided in the Falkirk
Council area.

2. MOVING FORWARD – THE LHS FRAMEWORK
2.1 This SHIP is prepared within an overall framework for the development of the next
Local Housing Strategy which is set out in Appendices 2a and 2b. This framework
has developed from discussions with RSLs and other stakeholders during the past
year.
2.2 The new framework means that the development of the SHIP is overseen by the
multi-agency Housing Need, Demand and Supply Executive (HND&S) Group which
includes RSL and Scottish Government Housing and Regeneration Division
representatives. The starting point for this group’s work is the Newhaven Research
(2007) 2 which identified the local market area and its sub markets and quantified
the requirement for affordable housing. An update of the data supporting the
definition of the housing market area has been carried out and has been
considered by the Executive Group. Local housing needs assessments at sub
market level using the methodology recommended by Newhaven has been carried
out to inform this SHIP. In future years the SHIP will be based upon the needs
assessment that will underpin the next LHS.
2.3 Assessing the need for affordable housing involves ongoing close joint working
between housing staff and planning colleagues in the Council’s Development
Services, Planning & Environment Unit. A key output has been the Council’s
Affordable Housing Policy which is set out in the Falkirk Council Local Plan, albeit
this is now under review (see item 4.5).
2.4 Scottish Government guidance 3 issued in 2008 requires there to be greater
integration between Local Housing Strategies and Local Development Plans
(LDPs). A Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) should underpin both
and provide the key evidence base upon which housing supply targets are defined
in the LHS and land release decisions are made within the LDP. As part of this
integration the LHS should be submitted at the same time as the LDP Main Issues
Report and for Falkirk Council the target date for completion of these two pieces of
work is 2011.
2.5 Work continues on the assessment of housing needs for people who have
particular housing requirements. Further detail is provided in Section 3.
2.6 In order to have a clear link between the 2004-09 LHS and the next full LHS which
will cover the period 2011-16, an interim LHS Statement was prepared and agreed
by the Council in May 2010. The Statement aims to provide a bridge between the
two planning periods so that there is a clear and logical progression between past
and future priorities.

The Wider Context – National Priorities, the Concordat and SOAs
2.7 As noted above, the framework for the preparation of the next LHS flows from the
LHS guidance issued in 2008 which sets the LHS in the context of national policies
and the new relationship between central and local government referred to as the
“Concordat”. Central to this new relationship has been the creation of Single
Outcome Agreements (SOAs), which indicate how national policies will be delivered
in each local authority area.
2.8 A SOA for the period 2009-2011 has been developed and agreed by the Falkirk
Community Planning Partnership. The Vision set out in the SOA is that:
• The legacy of our past and the potential of our future are protected,
• Our area is at the centre of Scotland,
• Our future is as one of the most culturally diverse and distinct areas in
Scotland,
• Our future has investment in jobs, learning, homes and leisure for all,
• Our area is “the place to be” in the third Millennium.
Partnership
2.9 Partnership working is at the heart not only of the SOA but also of the development
of both the LHS and the SHIP. Key partners in these processes include other
Council Services, the Scottish Government, RSLs, developers and a wide range of
other public sector agencies.
2.10 The Falkirk SHIP 2008 indicated that the Council was reviewing partnership
processes as part of work to take forward the next LHS. As noted earlier, Appendix
2a indicates the framework for partnership working that will underpin the
development of the next Local Housing Strategy whilst Appendix 2b demonstrates
the extent of partnership working involved at all levels in the process of preparing
the next LHS.
2.11 Following discussions with RSLs it was agreed that the RSL Forum, which is
chaired and hosted by RSLs, would have an important role to play in discussing
strategic issues such as the SHIP and how it fits with wider LHS priorities. The
Forum has equal status in the LHS framework with the LHS Steering Group and
has a direct link into the strategic community planning process through the
Improving Our Neighbourhoods Group.
12

2.12 The RSL Forum meets quarterly and offers the opportunity for open discussions
between the Council and all its RSL partners on strategic issues that feed in to the
LHS process. At a more operational level there are strong, well-established liaison
arrangements between RSL development staff and the Council on specific projects
with regular meetings being held between the Council’s development partnership
officers and RSL development staff. The diagram below illustrates the integrated
nature of the relationship between the Council, RSL partners and the Scottish
Government Housing and Regeneration Directorate where all three have to work
co-operatively if both national and local housing objectives are to be met.

2.13 The SOA takes account of the demographic and economic factors that influence
housing need and demand in the Council area and drives and underpins the Local
Housing Strategy by identifying clear strategic housing outcomes. The outcomes
and indicators identified in the SOA relating to housing and support issues will
effectively form a core set of outcomes and indicators within the next Local Housing
Strategy. The following diagram indicates the key influences on the LHS process.

2.14 The LHS is expected to play an important part in delivering the government’s aim of
increasing sustainable economic growth, as well as contributing significantly to a
number of the fifteen national outcomes. The LHS guidance notes that the
following national outcomes have specific relevance to Local Housing Strategies:
• National Outcome 7, ‘We have tackled the significant inequalities in Scottish
society’.
• National Outcome 10, ‘We live in well designed, sustainable places where
we are able to access the amenities and services we need’.
2.15 The 2009-2011 Falkirk SOA notes recent achievements in relation to both these
national outcomes. Within the Falkirk SOA, National Outcome 10 has been
expressed in terms of four local housing outcomes and shows how they are linked
to other key strategic documents/priorities/outcomes:
• Ensure our housing continues to meet the needs of people who live and may
wish to live in our area (Community Plan).
• Increase pride and satisfaction with their local community (Fairer Scotland
Fund).
• Ensure the provision of a range of affordable housing options which meet the
needs of local people, including those with specific needs (Local Housing
Strategy 04-09).
• Improve and maintain the Council’s core housing stock (Local Housing
Strategy 04-09).
2.16 These SOA outcomes highlight the close links between housing need, the physical
condition of the housing stock and how people feel about their environment and
local community. The projects outlined in this SHIP seek in some way to achieve
all of the above SOA outcomes.
2.17 Table 1 shows how high level national outcomes link through the various stages of
the planning process into local objectives.

Equalities
2.18 It is vital that the LHS and SHIP take full account of the housing needs of all
members of the community and refer back to National Outcome 7 “We have
tackled the significant inequalities in Scottish society”. In this context, the Falkirk
SOA has identified two specific housing indicators, both related to homelessness.
The national outcomes also underpin the Housing Need and Demand Assessment
which must take account of the different communities and households which make
up the Falkirk Council area.
2.19 Local housing needs assessments (HNAs) are carried out annually at sub area
level and provided to RSLs to inform the partnership development programme.
Each sub area local HNA makes recommendations in relation to size and type of
property (mainstream, special needs) and details the groups to whom the new
properties should be advertised. In order to make such recommendations the
local HNAs draw on the 2007 Newhaven research and updated analysis of Council
waiting list, house sales and private rented sector rents. They also consider
relevant issues relating to special needs housing and have taken account of the
ODS 4 research into the housing needs of minority ethnic communities.
2.20 The SHIP 2008 Equalities Impact Assessment identified a gap in respect of
monitoring the allocations made by RSLs to their new build properties in line with
the equalities strands of race, disability and age. (It was not deemed
proportionate, relevant or legitimate to collect data on gender/gender identity,
sexual orientation and faith/religion). In order to address this information gap, it
was decided to monitor allocation complaints by all six equalities strands but,
unfortunately, this part of the annual proforma which RSLs operating in the Council
area are asked to submit has not been completed by a number of them. The
RSLs have, however, provided some equalities information on the applicants on
their waiting list (Appendix 3a).
2.21 Link Housing Association, Paragon Housing Association and Weslo Housing
Management were the only RSLs with unit completions in 2009-2010 and
Appendix 3b: Equalities information for new build lets by housing association
2009-2010 provides details of these lets. The Equalities Impact Assessment is
provided at Appendix 3c.
2.22 It is anticipated that current work on assessing the housing requirements of people
with particular needs will indicate that a combination of new build, adaptations and
service redesign will be required to meet needs over the coming decade. Pending
the completion of this work, a pragmatic approach has been taken in developing
this SHIP: all ground floor properties will be built to varying needs standard and,
where appropriate, the opportunity is taken to accommodate within the design brief
the needs of identified individuals on the housing waiting lists whose housing
requirements cannot be met in another way.

LHS 2004-09 Outcomes: Update
2.23 In 2007/08 a formal monitoring and evaluation of the LHS 2004-09 was carried out.
The exercise provided useful information in relation to prioritising and categorising
objectives in the light of policy and legislative changes and in identifying potential
issues to be considered in the next LHS.

3. HOUSING NEED, DEMAND AND SUPPLY
Housing Market Areas
3.1 The first stage of a Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) is to identify
the housing market area. The SHIP 2008 indicated the first steps for Falkirk
Council:
• Consideration of the Newhaven Research (2007),
• Updating above analysis in relation to the HNDA guidance,
• Consultation with other Councils,
• Setting up and discussing updated analysis with the Housing Need,
Demand and Supply (HND&S) Executive Group.
3.2 The Newhaven Research (2007) was carried out to provide a critical but
independent review of in-house research into local housing need and provide
advice on appropriate geographies to be used for planning purposes. It identified
the Falkirk Council area as a self-contained housing market, albeit one that was
more open to influence from the wider Edinburgh and other neighbouring housing
markets.
3.3 A housing market study was carried out in November 2009 using the HNDA
guidance to update some of the analysis carried out by Newhaven. This work
(Identifying the Falkirk Housing Market) again confirmed that the Falkirk Council
area remains a self-contained housing market with links to the wider Edinburgh
market and, to a lesser extent, other neighbouring local authority areas.
3.4 The November 2009 work used the sub areas defined by Newhaven:
• Bo’ness,
• Denny Bonnybridge,

• Polmont Rural South,
• Wider Falkirk (Falkirk Local Plan area and Larbert/Stenhousemuir/Rural

3.5 A Forth Valley cross-border group was convened in July 2009 by the Scottish
Government to discuss issues relevant to the HNDA and involved Falkirk, Stirling
and Clackmannanshire Councils. This group also discussed references in the
SHIP guidance to cross-border liaison and agreed to share information including
housing market studies. Falkirk Council subsequently circulated its 2009 housing
market study (Identifying the Falkirk Housing Market) to Stirling and
Clackmannanshire Councils.
3.6 The Falkirk HND&S Executive Group involves external representatives from
amongst others, Homes for Scotland and the Scottish Association of Landlords.
This Executive Group continues to oversee the process of finalising the HNDA for
the LHS 2011-16. At its most recent meeting on 23 September 2010 the group
noted progress on the HNDA and the positive feedback from the Scottish
Government’s Centre for Housing Market Analysis (CHMA) on the analysis carried
out to date which is considered to form a firm foundation for the next LHS.

Housing Need and Demand Assessment
3.7 For the purpose of this year’s SHIP, the Newhaven Report (2007) remains the
most up to date source of information in relation to housing need. This report
indicated that the Falkirk Council area has an annual average shortfall of 145
affordable units over the 10 years to 2016. The table below indicates the
shortfall/surpluses identified by Newhaven by sub market area and how they
should be prioritised for future investment.

3.8 The Newhaven Research (2007) indicates that the Larbert/Stenhousemuir/Rural
North areas have a chronic shortfall of affordable housing and there may be a
case for providing options for people to meet their housing needs in other areas.
3.9 Newhaven noted that
“Although there is likely to be a policy preference to seek to address housing
needs in the local area in which it first appears, it should be borne in mind that
some households resolve their requirement for housing by moving to areas they
can afford. As such there may be a case for considering ways to direct demand
for social rented housing within the Wider Falkirk area to the Falkirk sub area. In
the longer term, there may also be a case of seeking to encourage prospective
social rented tenants to consider accommodation in Grangemouth over the coming
10 years.” 5
3.10 The type and size of properties that people are looking for may be available in
other areas therefore it is important to enable people in housing need to have the
choice to consider these options. This SHIP therefore outlines new build options
in Falkirk which may be of interest to people from Stenhousemuir/Larbert/Rural
North. As noted earlier, the Council is currently developing a “Housing Options”
approach to meeting local housing need and a new, choice-based, housing
allocations policy which sets clear priorities based on an assessment of housing
need (and offers applicants a significant degree of choice in how they seek to
meet their need) was implemented in January 2010.

Newhaven 2007 Falkirk Council Affordable Housing Needs
20

3.11 Under the new arrangements all applicants are able to see exactly what is
available for social rent in the area and it is anticipated that this will result in
applicants recognising that they may need to cross local boundaries in order to be
able to obtain the type of property that meets their housing needs/aspirations
within a reasonable timescale. Evidence from the first nine months of the new
arrangements suggests that around a third of housing applicants are prepared to
move across perceived local boundaries in order to meet their housing need.
3.12 The development of the “housing options” approach to meeting housing need is a
key part of the Homelessness Strategy approved in December 2008. This
Strategy and the new Allocations Policy recognise that demand for affordable
rented housing outstrips supply in the area and seeks to give those in housing
need the help and information they need to allow them to make reasoned choices.
Nevertheless, increasing the supply of new homes is likely to be the only way in
which the housing needs of a growing population is going to be met in the longer
term and this is the key issue for this SHIP.
3.13 The Newhaven Research (2007) indicates that there is currently an oversupply of
affordable accommodation in Grangemouth. However, the completion of new
build housing in the town over the past year by Link and Paragon Housing
Associations at Wood Street and Craigleith Road as part of the housing
regeneration programme indicates that it is too simplistic to develop future housing
strategies solely on the basis of statistical analysis. The development of 105 new
homes for rent and low cost home ownership at Wood Street and Craigleith Road
resulted in over 100 bids for each property available for let. This shows that where
the housing product on offer is one which people want, a statistical over-supply
issue can easily become an under-supply.
3.14 This experience suggests that there is likely to be a demand for further stock
renewal/regeneration in Grangemouth but this is hindered by the fact that the
town is at the centre of Scotland’s petro-chemical industries and as such is subject
to rigorous planning and health and safety constraints. Nevertheless, it is likely
that some form of stock reconfiguration in the town will be needed in the coming
years if it is to continue to play an important role as a residential area that
contributes to the overall supply of housing in the Council area and this is an issue
that will need to be considered in the next LHS taking account of the funding that
may be required to achieve this.
Affordable Housing Policy in the Context of the Recession
3.15 The current Affordable Housing Policy (AHP) which is set out in the Local Plan
which will be formally adopted by the Council by the end of 2010 is based on an
analysis of housing needs that was undertaken in-house and was then confirmed
by analysis undertaken in 2007 by Newhaven Research. The Newhaven
Research confirmed that the AHP was robust and that housing needs analysis did
not support more onerous AHP site threshold figures. Although the AHP was
initially challenged at the recent Local Plan Inquiry, the objections were dropped
and Supplementary Planning Guidance for the AHP has now been published.
However, a review of the AHP is currently in progress taking account of more
recent analysis of housing needs in the context of the HNDA and the preparation
of the Local Development Plan (LDP) Main Issues Report which will be published
in 2011 – (see paragraph 4.4) for more details.
21

3.16 In terms of new build completions in respect of private sector housing, the position
in Falkirk is consistent with that across the rest of Scotland.

3.17 Whilst it remains difficult to predict when the situation will return to ‘normal’, there
is a general consensus that it is likely to be many years before the building
industry is delivering the amount of new housing that it was doing in the first seven
or eight years of the century. The economic picture described last year has
changed little. Key issues remain:
Year
• Significant slowdown in the housing market,
• Completed new homes lying empty,
• Reduction in new build output,
• Scottish Government’s house building targets are not being met,
• Static house prices,
• Restricted access to mortgage products and loans,
• Increase in mortgage defaults,
• Increase in homelessness,
• Job losses within the building sector and support services,
• Loss of skills in the longer term which could affect future building capacity,
• Reduced developer contributions (“Planning Gain”) affecting community
infrastructure.
3.18 In some local authority areas the credit crunch has led to dramatic falls in house
prices, but Figure B overleaf indicates that in the Falkirk Council area, house
prices have actually largely remained fairly static – both new build and resale
prices have fallen slightly with new build taking a sharper descent and coming
closer to the 2004 price equivalent. Figure C overleaf, shows that the key issue
locally is not so much the prices of houses but rather the relationship between
house prices and income and the ability of people on low to moderate incomes to
obtain mortgages.

3.19 It is worth noting that whilst homelessness presentations dropped by 8% over
2009/10 within the Council area, 109 households approached the homelessness
service during 2009/10 as a result of mortgage default – this is an increase of 5%
over the previous year. Homelessness resulting from financial difficulties
amounted to 9% of total applications in 2009-10. This figure has decreased by 2%
since 2008-09 and is likely to be the result of more effective assistance given to
people who are at risk of losing their homes due to financial problems, including
the Mortgage to Rent scheme. It is anticipated that this figure will continue to
reduce as homelessness prevention measures become more embedded in the
practices of the Council and its partner landlord organisations and as banks and
other mortgage lenders are required to do more to assist people who are
experiencing difficulty in managing their housing costs.

3.20 Homeless presentations in the Council area in 2010/11 continue to be high and it
will be vital to monitor how effectively the new Homelessness Strategy 2008-13
addresses the Scottish Government’s 2012 homelessness target that by 2012
everyone who is not intentionally homeless will have a right to settled
accommodation. This target has been expressed in a local Vision, set out in the
Homelessness Strategy “by 2012 no one in the Falkirk Council area need be
homeless” and a detailed action plan is being implemented which focuses on three
key priorities: Prevention, Accommodation and Support. A major element of this
Vision is the implementation of the “housing options approach” alongside the
choice-based lettings scheme noted above, alongside measures to improve
access to private rented accommodation in the area.
3.21 Over time it is intended that there will be a sufficient range of housing options to
meet the needs of local people and it is clear that in a time of limited resources for
building new homes will be increasingly important to make the most effective use
of all the available housing stock. Stakeholders’ views on how this can be
achieved will be a major area for consideration in the next LHS.

3.22 Of the 71 applications to the Mortgage to Rent scheme since its introduction in
2003, 32 dwellings in the Falkirk Council area have been purchased by local RSLs
facilitated through £1.71m of grant subsidy. Of the total transactions completed,
23% were purchased in 2009/10 indicating that more people are now having
recourse to the Scheme in order to solve their housing crisis. Falkirk Council
agreed to participate in the scheme in June 2009, purchased its first property in
October 2009 and has now bought a further 7 properties since then. There
continues to be a steady flow of applications and the number of acquisitions is
therefore likely to increase. The total amount of Government grant received in
respect of these properties amounts to £244,000, with the Council’s contribution
being £315,000.

Housing for People with Particular Needs
3.23 Over the past year detailed work has been undertaken in respect of the need for
specialist accommodation for people with particular needs. This has included
analysis of secondary data such as General Registers Office (GRO) household
projections, the Council and RSL housing management systems, the Social Work
Information System (SWIS), the Local House Condition Survey (LHCS) and
discussions with Social Work colleagues.
Older People
3.24 The current population of people aged 60 and over is around 33,000 people. Men
and women are equally represented in the older population until age 75 when the
proportion of women increases. In terms of the overall population of older people
there is projected to be a 29% increase in the 75+ age group over the period
2008-2018 and a 97% increase in this group over the period 2008-2033. Given
the correlation between old age and disability, this increase has important
implications for care and support services as well as the provision of suitable
property types.
3.25 At present, a range of accommodation options are available locally for older
people ranging from Housing with Care Level 1 (previously called Very Sheltered
Housing) to amenity housing which comprises small flats or bungalows which have
generally been let to older people. In addition, Falkirk Council manages 13 multistorey
tower blocks, 2 of which offer Housing with Care Level 2 (previously called
sheltered housing) with the remaining 11 blocks providing general needs housing.
The 11 mainstream blocks account for 806 units which provide a desirable
housing option for some older people.
3.26 A key issue that will require to be addressed in the new LHS is that much of the
stock of housing designed for older people no longer meets the needs and
aspirations of that client group and, given the population projections outlined
above, it is now necessary for the next LHS to set out a clear strategy for meeting
the housing needs of this ageing population. A number of factors have contributed
to the current situation:
• Specialist “sheltered” housing built in the 1970s and 80s is often small in
comparison with what people expect today. There is some evidence that
older women will not consider bedsit accommodation when it becomes
available and even properties with a separate bedroom are often
considered to be too small – older people nowadays often want to have a
spare room for family and friends to stay over.
• Much of the 1970s and 80s sheltered housing stock was built over two
storeys without a lift. This is increasingly seen as a barrier to access for
older people today and significant capital investment is now required if this
accommodation is to provide a future housing option for older people. It
seems likely that some reconfiguration or service redesign will be required
in the coming years.
25

• Many older people who might previously have moved from their family
home to smaller accommodation as they became older have now bought
their home from the local authority or RSL and wish to remain there so that
they have an asset to leave to their children. In addition, if they are
mortgage free, it is cheaper to stay where they are than to rent alternative
accommodation.
• National health and social care policy has moved towards enabling people
to live in their own home wherever possible by means of adaptations to the
property and the provision of both telecare and support services.
3.27 Over the past year, analysis of expressed demand for Housing with Care has
indicated that there are around 200 people on a combination of Council and RSL
waiting lists. As noted above, some of the accommodation no longer meets
modern expectations and there is now a need to consider whether
reconfiguration/refurbishment is a viable option or if some units need to either be
demolished to provide a development site for housing that better meets current
needs or used to meet the needs of other groups in the population. Work is
currently underway to consider how the Council’s own housing stock can best
meet present day and future needs so that a clear development programme can
be prepared in the context of the next LHS and it is planned to hold workshops
with RSL partners in November 2010 to agree how a similar exercise can be
undertaken for the RSL stock of housing for older people.
3.28 As a result of the work done over the past year it has become clear that there is a
need for better publicity about the range of housing options available for older
people and that the process of applying for specialist housing would be simplified if
there was a local Common Housing Register (CHR). In the absence of a CHR
there has been a need to manually compare the Council and RSL waiting lists to
eliminate double counting and in doing this it has become evident that most older
people are not aware of the wider housing options that exist across the Council
area and therefore there is a possibility that they miss out on opportunities to meet
their housing need. The development of a CHR and an increased awareness
about local housing options may help some older people to make the right housing
choices at the right time for them.
3.29 Given the fact that the population is ageing, there is a clear need to ensure that
new general needs housing is built so that it can be adapted as the occupants’
needs change over the coming years. All of the Council’s new build properties
and all RSL developments are built to Housing for Varying Needs Standards and
this should assist to meet the needs of people as they age or develop disabilities
without them having to move home.
Physical Disabilities
3.30 The correlation between old age and physical disability/sensory impairment was
noted above but there will always be a proportion of the younger population that
requires housing that is purpose-built or adapted to meet their needs. Using data
from a range of sources including the 2009 Local House Condition Survey (LHCS),
the Social Work Information System (SWIS) and Council and RSL waiting lists, it is
estimated that around 100 people with physical disabilities require alternative
housing.
26

3.31 The requirement for any new socially rented properties to be built to Housing for
Varying Needs Standards will go some way to addressing the need for housing for
people with physical disabilities over time but there will always be a small number
of people who need bespoke housing solutions that go beyond level access and
minor adaptations. Families will often need accommodation specially designed for
a child or young person with severe disabilities and there is a recognised need for
this kind of provision for some children who are in foster care placements. To
address the need for personalised housing provision for people with severe
disabilities it is proposed that the new LHS will set a target percentage for such
provision in all new developments for rent/low cost home ownership provided by
either the Council or its RSL partners. Over the coming year there will be
consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including those groups who
represent the views of people with disabilities, to ascertain what an appropriate
target should be. The needs of families who have children with disabilities will be
discussed with Social Work colleagues.
3.32 However, many people with disabilities will wish to stay where they are and seek
to have their home adapted to meet their needs. The 2009 LHCS estimated that
7% of households considered that they had an illness or disability that would
require them to adapt their homes. Taking account of these findings, a Scheme of
Assistance has now been approved in accordance with the requirements of the
Housing (Scotland) Act 2009. This makes provision for owners and tenants in the
private rented sector to access grants to adapt or extend their homes to meet their
assessed needs. For tenants in social rented housing, landlords work in
partnership with Social Work Services to try to adapt a person’s home or, where
this is not possible, to facilitate a move to more suitable accommodation.
Learning Disabilities
3.33 Social Work colleagues have highlighted a need to consider the housing needs of
people with learning disabilities, in particular those who have elderly carers. The
Scottish Consortium for Learning Disabilities estimates that around 724 adults in
the Falkirk Council area have learning disabilities, whilst SWIS indicates that
around 150 people were assessed as having a learning disability in 2008-09, of
whom 13 were in unsuitable accommodation. In some cases, people with a
learning disability may also be elderly and/or suffer from physical disabilities and
the need for purpose-built housing for these people will overlap with the two
categories noted above but it is likely that general needs housing with the
provision of appropriate care and support packages will meet the needs of the
majority of people with learning disabilities.
3.34 At the moment, there are 248 units in 98 developments that aim to provide
accommodation and specialist support for people who need it. Discussions are
currently underway with Social Work Services to ascertain whether there is a need
for further specialist provision for this client group and, if this is the case, an
appropriate target will be set in the next LHS. Information from Social Work
indicates that around a third of the housing support budget - £3,889,550 - assists
152 people with learning disabilities.
27

Mental Health
3.35 In terms of people with mental health problems, the majority live in general needs
housing although some may need support to do so. Information from Health and
Wellbeing profile 2008 indicated over 1000 psychiatric inpatients from Falkirk
Council area over the course of a year. However it is important to note that this
does not indicate a housing need. In 2008, Supporting People returns to the
Scottish Government identified 69 people with mental health problems who
received housing support services. There are currently 23 specialist or shared
establishments for people with mental health issues run by Loretto HA, Penumbra,
Barony HA and the Scottish Association for Mental Health.
3.36 Whilst it is considered at this stage that the housing needs of individuals suffering
from mental illness can usually be addressed through mainstream housing, it is
necessary to determine the need for specific house types through the HNDA. This
work is ongoing and will be informed by consultation with stakeholders. The LHS
2011-16 will consider the need for housing support services for this client group.
Other Client Groups
3.37 Discussions with Social Work have indicated that other client groups whose
housing needs require to be considered during the period of the next LHS include
those with dementia, Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Alcohol Related Brain
Disorder (ARBD). Work to provide specialist housing for people with dementia is
underway as part of the review of existing Council care home facilities and it is
anticipated that a new development will be proposed in the next LHS and the
2012-2017 SHIP. In relation to ASD and ARBD work is ongoing to identify data
sources to assist in quantifying the extent of need and this analysis will also be
informed through consultation with stakeholders.
28

4. PLANNING & LAND SUPPLY
4.1 The purpose of this section is to outline key linkages between the planning system
and the delivery of affordable housing with particular emphasis on matters relating
to land supply. Work between partners continues to be done to address the issue
of constraints which can delay the development process and whilst project specific
constraints in respect of funding and land are addressed in Table 4 (Section 4.29),
consideration continues to be given as to how more general constraints can be
mitigated.
Structure and Local Plan
4.2 A key aim of the Council’s Structure Plan is to promote sustainable growth in all
communities in the Council area. In support of this growth strategy, the Council set
a population target of 152,000 by 2020. The growth strategy has had considerable
success since the start of the decade and the estimated population of the Falkirk
Council area now stands at 152,480, an increase of over 7000 since 2001. The
planned population growth has now almost been achieved, well ahead of schedule.
4.3 The Structure Plan noted that for this population target to be achieved, around
13,800 houses would need to be built between 2001 and 2020. Since 2001 there
have been 6,311 recorded house completions in Falkirk Council area. However,
recent trends in terms of the “credit crunch” and rates of new house building may
mean that previous targets will need to be reviewed through the new Local
Development Plan process.
Local Development Plan
4.4 Under the new Planning, etc (Scotland) Act 2006 the Council will have to prepare a
Local Development Plan (LDP) to replace the Falkirk Council Structure Plan and
Falkirk Council Local Plan. In May 2010 the Council published its first update of the
Local Development Plan Scheme which sets out the revised timetable for LDP
preparation, outlines the range of supporting work required to provide the plan’s
evidence base, and summarises the purpose of each stage of the plan. A critical
component of the LDP will be the Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA),
which will provide the evidence base for setting future housing supply targets for
both market and affordable housing. Work on the HNDA is underway and will be
completed shortly. This will then feed into the LDP Main Issues Report, the first
main document of the LDP process, which will set out options for sites for future
housing land allocations.
29

Affordable Housing Policy
4.5 Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) was approved in January 2009 in relation
to the method of delivering the Council’s Affordable Housing Policy. By then, the
economic downturn was underway and there has been a severe reduction in
house-building activity by the private sector. In the light of this, the Council is
undertaking a review of the Affordable Housing Policy and SPG with a view to
reducing the threshold for the size of sites which would come within the scope of
the policy. This would extend the requirement to provide an element of affordable
housing on smaller sites, on which developers appear to be concentrating their
resources in the current economic climate. In August 2010, the Scottish
Government published PAN2/2010 Affordable Housing and Housing Land Audits
which replaces the old PAN74 and appendix to SPP3 and this will be taken into
account as part of the Council’s review of the Affordable Housing Policy and
subsequent SPG.
Strategic Initiatives for Residential-led Regeneration (SIRRs)
4.6 In addition to the base housing requirement, Falkirk Council’s Structure Plan and
Local Plan Finalised Draft (deposit version) have indicated four locations - Strategic
Initiatives for Residential-led Regeneration (SIRRs) - where residential development
will be encouraged to assist regeneration:
4.7 • Banknock and Haggs,
• Bo’ness Foreshore,
• Whitecross,
• Slamannan.
4.8 These locations offer the potential for large-scale development in areas that have
lacked investment to date. Each location does, however, have particular
constraints in terms of physical infrastructure. The provision of social infrastructure
and, in some cases, economic development opportunities, will also be essential to
secure regeneration. Development will be conditional on the provision of a
comprehensive master plan for the areas concerned, the provision of the necessary
infrastructure through a co-ordinated approach to developer contributions,
appropriate phasing and satisfactory environmental assessments.
4.9 Three of the four SIRRs offer real potential for affordable housing land to be made
available through the Affordable Housing Policy by working in partnership with the
developers to ensure that mixed tenure communities are incorporated within each
of the master plans. At the time the Bo’ness SIRR was declared there was no
expectation that affordable housing would be part of its overall vision, however, the
downturn in the housing markets now means that this position will need to be
reviewed. During the period of this SHIP, progress on each of the three SIRRs
which are expected to deliver affordable housing will be monitored and reported on
to ensure necessary resources are programmed and allocated to meet affordable
housing requirements.
30

Banknock and Haggs
4.10 In June 2009 the Development Framework for the Banknock and Haggs SIRR was
approved as supplementary planning guidance. A planning application to develop
the Cannerton Brickworks part of the SIRR area was submitted in May 2010. It is
conceivable that affordable housing could begin to be delivered on this site from
2012 although progress will be dictated by the speed at which the masterplan and
the subsequent planning application for the site progress.
4.11 The Council’s main development land interest lies within the southern part of the
overall SIRR. The combined southern site is owned by Falkirk Council and a
private developer. Both parties are currently working together to masterplan the
combined southern site to establish its overall viability. The masterplanning
exercise should be complete by the end of 2010. It is hoped that the
masterplanning exercise confirms there is sufficient value in the land to meet the
required primary infrastructure improvements needed to facilitate the overall SIRR,
with some residual land to allow the delivery of additional new affordable housing
by the Council or an RSL partner. Obviously, the overall SIRR will also need to
meet the Council affordable housing policy requirements and could potentially
deliver circa. 100 affordable homes, if sufficient Scottish Government funding is
made available to support this.
Whitecross
4.12 Objections to the definition of the Whitecross SIRR as outlined in the Falkirk
Council Local Plan Finalised Draft (Deposit Version) were withdrawn prior to the
Local Plan Inquiry. A draft masterplan produced by the land owner will be modified
and converted into draft supplementary planning guidance during late 2009. A
planning application for developing Whitecross SIRR was submitted in March 2010.
4.13 The Council facilitated a meeting between the Developer and interested RSL
partners in July 2010 to share information on the overall vision for the SIRR and
discuss how the affordable housing requirement for it could be delivered. Based on
the Council’s current Affordable Housing Policy the overall SIRR, which consists of
1,500 new homes, could potentially deliver 225 new affordable homes if sufficient
Scottish Government funding is made available. The Developer will continue to
liaise with interested RSL partners throughout the pre-development period.
Slamannan
4.14 The extent of development sites within the Slamannan SIRR was considered at the
Local Plan Inquiry during the Spring of 2009. The Reporter’s recommendations for
Slamannan were considered by the Council in June 2010 and the Council has
made modifications to the Local Plan which have reduced the overall scale of
development within the Slamannan SIRR to around 650 units, including the deletion
of two sites. Now that the extent of development sites is confirmed (subject to final
adoption of the Local Plan by the end of 2010) the preparation of a Development
Framework will follow. Based on the Council’s current Affordable Housing Policy,
the overall SIRR could potentially deliver 97 new affordable homes if sufficient
Scottish Government funding is made available. Due to limited market interest, it
seems unlikely that affordable housing would be delivered on site until after 2014.
31

Housing Land Audit
4.15 The Housing Land Audit (HLA) is the mechanism that Planning authorities use to
monitor housing land supply and identify those sites which are to be effective within
a 5 year period. It is produced annually, with the Council’s most recent HLA being
published in April 2010. The HLA is produced in partnership with a range of
stakeholders including developers, Homes for Scotland, RSLs and land owners. In
August 2010 the Scottish Government published PAN2/2010 Affordable Housing
and Housing Land Audits which replaces the old PAN74 and appendix to SPP3.
The advice recommends that HLA’s in future distinguish between affordable and
market housing sites when monitoring development progress.
4.16 The Structure Plan sets the housing land requirements to 2020 which will be met
through the Falkirk Council Local Plan using HLA sites, taking account of house
completions since 2001, additional committed sites and new land allocations.
4.17 The effective housing land supply is defined as those sites which are expected to
be free of development constraints over the next 5 years and therefore available for
house-building. The 2009/10 HLA identified a total capacity of 2447 units over a 5
year period from within this effective land supply.
4.18 The Housing Land Audit also identifies sites deemed as being ‘non-effective’ due to
development constraints or where the land owner has not taken any action to bring
the site forward for development within the Local Plan period.
4.19 The Council and RSL development partners have carried out an analysis of all noneffective
sites and contact has been made with land owners to try to establish if
they would be willing to negotiate the sale of their land to create a land bank for
RSL housing development. Discussions with land owners and RSLs will continue
where appropriate. The HLA also helps to identify sites which will have an
affordable housing requirement through the Council’s Affordable Housing Policy
(AHP), sites with a requirement are detailed in Appendix 4a and maps in Appendix
4b.
Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey (SVDLS)
4.20 The SVDLS is undertaken to establish the extent of vacant and derelict land
throughout Scotland and the amount of land that has been added or reclaimed on
an annual basis. A register of sites provides information on local sites, which it is
hoped will help to encourage their re-use or development in accordance with the
Development Plan and other planning guidance. The purpose of this exercise is to
identify any sites which could offer future affordable housing opportunities. The
review undertaken in 2009 saw three sites removed from the SVDLS and two
added; of this none of the new sites was considered suitable for residential use.
32

Open Space Strategy
4.21 The Council recognises the benefits that a range of high quality, accessible, green
open spaces and urban civic spaces can make to a community. The range of
benefits identified for green space is dependent upon the way that the resource is
planned, designed and managed. On that basis, and in line with national planning
policy, the Council approved an Open Space Strategy in June 2010 to guide future
investment, development and maintenance programmes. The Open Space
Strategy proposes a set of criteria which will have to be considered during any open
space asset disposal and realisation across the Council area. Once this set of
criteria is approved it can be used to help identify open space sites whose loss
would have the least adverse impact on the community and which might then be
available for reuse as sites for affordable/social housing.
Current & Future Land Supply
Council Owned Land
4.22 A significant amount of new RSL provision in the past ten years has been on vacant
and brownfield land owned by the Council. Throughout the period of the 2004-09
LHS, development sites were created through the restructuring and redevelopment
of low demand housing, consistent with the stock strategy set out in the LHS.
Following demolitions and housing regeneration activity, a significant number of
projects have recently been completed through the Affordable Housing Investment
Programme (AHIP). Recently completed projects include:
• Wood Street, Grangemouth – 73 units (RSL),
• Craigleith Road, Grangemouth – 32 units (RSL),
• Lomond Drive, Langlees – 32 units (RSL),
• Inver & Birnam Court, Langlees – 44 units (RSL),
• Corbiehall, Bo’ness – 16 units (RSL).
4.23 Projects currently under construction or planned on land created through the LHS
stock restructuring/demolition programme include:
• Chisholm Place, Grangemouth – 12 units (Council),
• Carron Road, Falkirk – 46 units (Council),
• Chequers, Hallglen – 18 units (Council).
4.24 In terms of securing an adequate supply of land for taking forward the Council’s
strategic objective of building more council houses, a significant amount of work
has been undertaken in the past year to identify land in Council ownership that has
the potential to facilitate a future Council house building programme. Almost 200
potential sites were identified from land held on the Housing Revenue Account and
other holding accounts and each was considered in relation to the following issues:
• Land Ownership (i.e. holding account),
• Planning Status,
• Housing Needs Assessment Priority,
• Site Capacity.
33

4.25 The list of nearly 200 sites was then refined down to 77 sites (Appendix 5a) upon
which Council Members were consulted and this final list was then prioritised using
a scoring matrix that took account of land account holder, planning status, Housing
Needs Assessment, current land use and Members’ feedback. Detailed technical
design feasibility studies have been carried out over the past year to identify which
of the 77 sites could provide potential housing development opportunities. These
detailed assessments took account of:
• Topography,
• Ground Conditions,
• Known Constraints,
• Accessibility,
• Infrastructure Constraints,
• Utility Constraints,
• Surrounding Environment,
• Notional Site Capacity.
4.26 This lengthy but invaluable piece of work will inform the affordable housing plans
that will be set out in the next LHS (2011-16) and will form the platform on which the
2012-2017 and subsequent SHIPs can be based. Appendix 5a sets out the
process by which the land now being considered for future Council house building
has been identified and provides details about the deliverability of each site, listed
from the most deliverable to the least deliverable. Of the 77 sites, 5 have already
been identified for new Council housing utilising Scottish Government grant funding.
Further work is now required to establish which other sites can be brought forward
for consideration as potential future Council new build projects. Of the remaining
77 sites, 53 (74%) are currently classified as open space and these will need to be
assessed using the criteria set out in the Open Space Strategy to establish whether
they are suitable for new housing development. The overall assessment process
may also identify potential sites for future partnership working with our RSL partners
to be considered for future SHIPs.
4.27 Projects contained within the main SHIP or the Council’s New Build Programme
which are presently under construction or planned on land currently or previously
owned by the Council include:
Projects Under Construction:
• Mayfield Drive, Longcroft – 16 units (RSL),
• McTaggart Avenue, Denny – 10 units (RSL),
• Chisholm Place, Grangemouth – 12 units (Council),
• Shiel Gardens, Langlees – 20 units (Council).
Planned Projects:
• Carron Road/Haugh St, Falkirk – 36 units (Council),
• Carron Road/Millflats St, Falkirk - 10 units (Council),
• Chequers, Hallglen – 18 units (Council),
• Cadzow Avenue, Bo’ness – 24 units (Council),
• Auchincloch Drive, Banknock – 30 units (RSL).
34

4.28 In terms of the development of the land at Auchincloch Drive which was recently
refused planning consent, it is anticipated that the RSL developer (Link Group) will
wish to pursue an appeal to Scottish Ministers.
Other Public Sector Land
4.29 In addition to the land owned by the Council there will be an ongoing need to work
in partnership with other public sector agencies to identify land owned by them
which may have the potential to deliver future land supply in the area. Discussions
have taken place with Forth Valley NHS, Central Scotland Police, Central Scotland
Countryside Forestry Trust and the Scottish Rural Property & Business Association
on land assets and possible future partnership opportunities. Other public bodies
such as the Ministry of Defence and Scottish Water have confirmed they have no
developable land holding within the Falkirk Council area.
4.30 Liaison between the Council and Central Scotland Police led to the Council
acquiring two police stations in Denny and Stenhousemuir in March 2010. The
original intention was to provide new Council housing on the sites which would also
complement ongoing regeneration activity in the Denny and Stenhousemuir town
centres. Proposals were included in the Council’s bid for a share of the Scottish
Government’s phase 2 funding; however, this element of the Council’s bid was
unsuccessful. As a result, an option and financial appraisal for each site is now
progressing and a further update will be provided to Members to establish an
agreed way forward.
Land in Private Ownership
4.31 In addition to the land identified through the work described above, in the longer
term further sites should be secured through the Council’s Affordable Housing
Policy, Strategic Initiatives for Residential-Led Regeneration (SIRR) and the Local
Development Plan process. One positive consequence of the credit crunch has
been that some land owners and developers have been more willing to consider the
development of affordable housing on their land. Discussions have been held with
developers and private land owners and 64 development opportunities have been
brought to the attention of the Council and its RSL partners since the start of the
‘credit crunch’ in late 2008 (Appendix 5b and 5c map). Of the 64 development
opportunities: 2 projects have been completed, 13 projects are contained within the
2010 SHIP main programme, 2 projects are contained within the 2010 SHIP
“shadow” programme and 2 projects are being investigated for inclusion within
future SHIPs. As a result, there is now sufficient land to support not just the main
programme outlined in this SHIP but also a “shadow” programme that could be
implemented if additional resources become available.
35

4.32 Figure E below shows land ownership in relation to the 16 proposed development
sites contained in the main 2010 SHIP and the Falkirk Council New Build
Programme which have the capacity to deliver 472 new affordable homes over the
next five years.

4.33 Whilst it is always possible that in any development programme problems can arise
which could not reasonably have been foreseen, in the main good forward planning
can help address many of the likely difficulties that could be encountered. Over the
past couple of years the Council and its partners have tried to address issues that
have previously caused programming delays by introducing Development
Checklists (Appendix 6) and positively encouraging early dialogue between
development partners, appropriate Council departments and relevant external
statutory bodies to try and mitigate any known constraints. Table 4 below sets out
the mitigating actions that should assist in improving project deliverability in the
period covered by this SHIP. The actions outlined below will be regularly reviewed
and extended as further experience informs the development process.

5. SHIP SUMMARY UPDATE
5.1 Over the years, the Council has worked successfully in partnership with Registered
Social Landlords (RSLs) and developers to create new affordable housing for rent
and low-cost home ownership. However, over past two years the Council has been
in a position to take advantage of an increase in Scottish Government grant funding
as a result of having a strong deliverable 5 year forward programme developed
through the Strategic Housing Investment Planning framework. This has allowed
the delivery of a significant number of new affordable homes in 2009-10 & 2010-11
to meet local housing needs and offer a wider choice of affordable housing options
within the Falkirk Council area. The SHIP has been delivered through a strong
relationship between partners and a willingness from all partners to make financial
contributions towards the delivery of new affordable homes.

6. RESOURCES
General Background
6.1 The Council is committed to meeting its key strategic objectives within the Strategic
Community Plan, Single Outcome Agreement and Local Housing Strategy by:
• Increasing the supply of affordable housing options which meet the needs of
local people;
• Ensuring the provision of good quality housing by investing in existing stock
and regeneration activity;
• Promoting sustainability and energy efficiency within the Council’s housing
stock across all tenures and addressing issues of fuel poverty affecting
vulnerable households.
6.2 A strategic approach to financing these key objectives has been adopted which
aims to maximise the use of a range of funding streams that contribute both to
increasing the number of new affordable homes in the area and ensure the ongoing
viability of the existing housing stock. For example, tackling issues of disrepair in
private sector housing, improving the quality of social rented housing and carrying
out adaptations to existing stock to make homes more attractive or more suitable for
people in housing need, all contribute to the overall provision of affordable housing.
6.3 Over the past 5 years £28m of grant funding from the AHIP has been made
available for investment by RSLs in the Falkirk Council area as detailed in Figure F
below. Funding peaked in 2009/10 with a grant out-turn figure of £9,138,929.
However, as a result of the National Government’s austerity measures to reduce the
budget deficit, it is likely that the future will bring reduced budgets across all
government departments. Figures from the Scottish Government show that we are
entering a long period, perhaps as many as 16 years, before the budget will return
in real terms to 2009-10 levels – Figure F below.

Out-Turn Figures

6.4 The 2009-10 peak in funding for the Council area involved the award of £8m from
the AHIP, comprising: £5m core programme, £2m to reflect particular pressures in
relation to homelessness and £1m to relieve carry forward pressures.
Subsequently, as a result of additional resources becoming available from Barnett
Consequentials 6 , a further £1.1m was allocated for RSL investment taking the
overall budget for 2009-10 to £9.138m. The core AHIP allocation for the area in
2010-11 fell to £4.341m as a direct result of previous accelerated funding but, due
to additional resources once again becoming available from Barnett
Consequentials, a further £1m has been allocated taking the total core AHIP
allocation for the Council area in 2010-11 to £5.341m.
6.5 The Scottish Government’s Chief Economic Adviser provided an updated Outlook
for Scottish Government Expenditure in early July 2010. The latest projections
published by the Scottish Government’s Chief Economic Adviser 7 suggested that:
• The Scottish budget in real terms will contract for six consecutive years from
2010-11;
• Total Scottish Government Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL) will
decrease by 3.3 per cent per year on average in real terms over the next four
years – with the bulk of the expected adjustment occurring in 2011-12;
• The Scottish budget will contract by 12.5 per cent in real terms by 2014-15
compared to 2010-11;
• By the end of the 2010 Spending Review period in 2014-15, the Scottish
budget will be approximately £4.3 billion below its 2009-10 peak in real
terms;
• Scottish Government Capital DEL is set to fall by £1.6 billion, around 40 per
cent, in real terms between 2009-10 and 2014-15;
• It may take 16 years (to 2025-26) for the Scottish Government’s total budget
to return to its 2009-10 levels in real terms – Figure G below.
Figure G – Estimated Scottish Government DEL Expenditure

The Barnett formula is used by the Government to adjust automatically the amount of public expenditure allocated to Scotland to
reflect changes in spending levels allocated to public services.

6.6 The remainder of this Section looks at the various funding streams that contribute to
the overall provision of affordable housing in the Council area covering firstly,
external funding streams and then the Council’s own funding contribution.
External Funding
AHIP Resources Assumptions 2011/12 – 2015/16
6.7 The final settlement for the Scottish Government’s Departmental Expenditure Limits
will not be known until the Comprehensive Spending Review is concluded in
October 2010. In the meantime, it is clear that each budget holding body will
require to take measures to reduce its expenditure to match its own circumstances.
Although the specifics of where the budget reductions will take place have not been
confirmed at the time of this SHIP being published, indications suggest that each
Government department will be required to make budget planning reductions of 25
per cent with further planning scenarios considered based on 40 per cent reductions
in budget over the four year period of the 2010 Spending Review period.
6.8
In the absence of definite resource planning figures from the Scottish Government,
agreement with its Housing Investment Division has established that a pragmatic
response to resource planning assumptions for the 2011-2016 SHIP would be to
base them on a 25 per cent reduction in the 2010-11 AHIP allocation over the four
years of the 2010 Spending Review period. The charts below (Figures H & I
overleaf) illustrate resource planning assumptions for the Council area based the
two scenarios (a) on a 25% and (b) a 40% reduction over four years using the AHIP
allocation of £5.341m in 2010-11 as the baseline figure. The development funding
resources required in the Falkirk Council area during the period 20011/12 - 2015/16
are detailed in the templates provided by the Scottish Government’s Housing &
Regeneration Directorate (Appendix 1a).

* Subsidy level based on figure from Housing: Fresh Thinking, New Ideas
6.10 The term “affordable housing” includes a range of tenure options and not just
properties for social renting. Each type of provision requires differing levels of grant
support to make it viable. The funding ranges from an average of £70k per unit for
social rented units built by RSLs to £2k-£4k for the proposed National Housing Trust
units. Full details of the grant support provided for current funding mechanisms and
those under development are summarised in the Scottish Government’s discussion
document, Housing: Fresh Thinking, Ideas and are detailed in Table 5 overleaf.
43

6.11 Introducing a mix of tenure within suitably sized development projects could allow
more affordable units to be delivered as noted in Table 5 below:
6.12
Table 5 taken from Housing: Fresh Thinking, New Ideas
In terms of Scottish Government funding for new Council house building, this has
previously been top-sliced from the overall resources available for affordable
housing and allocated to local authorities following a challenge fund bidding
process. Subsidy of £25,000 per unit was provided for successful bids in the first
two tranches of funding with subsidy for the third tranche increased to £30,000 per
unit. If this level of subsidy were applied to the funding assumptions outlined above,
£4,773,079 would allow 159 new Council houses to be built but would require the
Council to finance the remainder at an estimated cost of £11m. However, it must be
noted that this option is currently not available. An Investment Reform Working
Group comprising representatives from the Scottish Government, COSLA, ALACHO
(Association of Local Authority Chief Housing Officers) and the SFHA (Scottish
Federation of Housing Associations) has recently completed a review of the
arrangements for funding affordable housing and the outputs from this group are
currently being considered by Scottish Ministers. It seems unlikely that any
changes or reforms will impact on the investment programme for the coming year
but there may be amendments that will impact on future years of this SHIP.
44

6.13 To date, decisions about which tenure option should be implemented on each new
development have been based on a range of factors including local housing needs
assessment, individual project costs and funding availability. This approach offers a
degree of flexibility that allows each scheme to be tailored to meet new and
emerging housing needs and take advantage of any new funding streams that may
come on stream. However, it is considered that this issue is one that should be the
subject of consultation with stakeholders in the development of the new LHS and it
may be that a different approach will be adopted in future.
6.14 The table below summarises the total development funding requirements over the
five year period of the SHIP against the six housing market sub areas within the
Falkirk Council area and the shortfall against total units. The totals are derived from
the templates Appendix 1a and do not include committed funding requirements for
RSL projects that are already on site or potential projects that are beyond year 5
(2015-16) of the SHIP. Details of the full project development funding requirements
including committed funding for on-site projects is detailed in Appendices 1b and 1c.
The unit shortfall against potential new units delivered within the period of the 5 year
SHIP is illustrated in Map 1.
6.15 The 5 year main SHIP contains 16 individual RSL partnership projects amounting to
approximately 352 dwellings. A further 6 Falkirk Council new build projects are also
included in the SHIP amounting to 120 units. Full details of each project can be
viewed in Appendix 7 Project Summary. When both are added together this gives a
total of 472 units over the period of the SHIP. These projects are detailed in
Appendix 1a - e.

Private Finance
6.16 In addition to Scottish Government funding from the AHIP, RSLs are expected to
access private finance to fund their affordable housing developments. The amount
of private finance required depends on the notional rental income and level of HAG
available in respect of each development. The use of private finance has been
assumed in all projects and is estimated to be around £17.267m (Appendix 1a)
over the period of this 5 year SHIP.
RSL Reserves
6.17 Some RSL development partners have suggested that they would be willing to
consider using their reserves to bridge any funding gap in the delivery of an
affordable housing project. However, this would only be considered as a last resort
once all other avenues of funding have been exhausted. Only one RSL (Key
Housing Association) has included the use of reserves in their template
submissions for the 2010 SHIP (Appendix 1a).
Mortgage to Rent Scheme
6.18 Since the introduction of the above Scheme in 2003, 32 dwellings have been
purchased by RSLs facilitated through £1.71m of grant subsidy. In June 2009,
Falkirk Council agreed to participate in the Scheme and, to date, 8 properties have
been purchased through £244k of Scottish Government grant funding and £315k
from Council contributions. It is anticipated that there will continue to be a steady
flow of purchases through this Scheme over the period of this SHIP.
Open Market Shared Equity Pilot
6.19 The Open Market Shared Equity Pilot scheme which is operated by Link Group in
the Falkirk Council area allows certain categories of people to buy homes that are
for sale on the open market. The scheme was temporarily expanded across the
whole of Scotland for a one year period ending 31 March 2010. The aim of the
scheme was to help support the housing market during the current difficult
economic climate. In 2009-10, 21 homes were purchased through the scheme in
the Falkirk Council area facilitated through £650k of grant funding from the Scottish
Government. Due to the very high level of demand from potential buyers, some
applicants who previously applied were unable to access the scheme as all the
available funding had been allocated. £20 million from the 2010-11 budget was
allocated to extend the scheme across Scotland to help some of these applicants to
buy a property. As at October 2010, a further 8 homes have been purchased
through the scheme in the Council area facilitated by circa. £171k of grant funding.
It is unknown, at this time, if the scheme will be further extended into 2011-12.
Commuted Payments
6.20 The planning system makes provision for securing commuted sums towards
affordable housing through the use of Section 75 planning agreements. The
Council has negotiated a total of £500k in commuted sums which will be used by or
on behalf of the Council to upgrade existing housing stock in the
Larbert/Stenhousemuir areas.
46

6.21 As outlined in paragraph 4.5 the Council is undertaking a review of the Affordable
Housing Policy and SPG with a view to reducing the threshold for the size of sites
which would come within the scope of the policy. This could also result in a greater
requirement for commuted payments by developers to meet their obligations under
the policy as an alternative to providing land or built units.
Supporting People Funding
6.22 Supporting People funding is now provided as part of the overall Grant Aided
Expenditure from the Scottish Government and is £9.3m in 2009/10 and £9.5m in
2010/11. The funding provides housing support services for a wide range of needs
throughout the Council area. Reviews of support services are currently underway
and once the outcome of the reviews is known, a clearer picture will emerge as to
the role that Supporting People funds will be able to play in meeting the housing
needs of those with particular requirements in the future. Together with the
assessment of particular housing needs that was noted in Section 3, this work will
inform proposals in the next LHS.
Private Sector Housing Grant (PSHG)
6.23 The 2010/11 PSHG budget for Falkirk is £1.036m. A similar level of PSHG funding
will be “highlighted” within the Council’s General Fund Capital Grant until 2013/14.
At present, this grant remains the primary funding source for the provision of
services to private owners to assist them to address the condition of sub standard
properties in the Council area. PSHG also funds aids and adaptations for people
with disabilities which can help resolve individual housing need by supporting
independent living in the community. It should be noted however that following the
removal of the ring-fence around PSHG this funding may be vulnerable to being
used for other issues as wider Council priorities determine.
6.24 In keeping with the requirements of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, the Council’s
Interim Statement of Assistance, Housing Renewal Area Policy and Below
Tolerable Standard Strategy came into effect on 1 April 2010. The findings of the
all-tenure house condition survey provided the basis on which these were drafted.
These interim documents will be reviewed in the context of the developing Local
Housing Strategy over the course of 2010/11.
6.25 The 2006 Act clearly imposes greater responsibility on owners to maintain and
improve their homes however, the capacity of the Council to achieve long term
objectives of maintaining and improving private sector housing may be restricted by
the level of resources available through the PSHG allocation.
47

Care and Repair
6.26 The Council’s Care and Repair scheme is aimed at helping older and disabled
people in the private sector to live independently in their own homes by offering
advice and assistance about the availability of financial assistance and how to
organise necessary repair and improvement works. PSHG meets the cost of
financial assistance whilst revenue costs in respect of staffing are met from the
General Fund Housing Revenue budget. A pilot Small Repairs Service to owner
occupiers and a pilot Handyman Service across all tenures have been ongoing
since 2008 and were made permanent services in June 2010. The cost of these
services will be met by PSHG together with a small charge to users
Wider Role Funding
6.27 The Scottish Government’s Wider Role Fund supports RSLs to undertake projects
in local communities which intend to make the life of people living there better.
Falkirk Council works in partnership with RSLs and other organisations to help
deliver these projects. The most recent use of Wider Role funding in the Council
area have been in relation to:
• £57k towards a pilot Environmental Project in Grangemouth,
• £122k towards The Older People’s Advice Project,
• £87k towards The Green Action Volunteers Project.
The fund has allocated £36m of Wider Role funding activity throughout Scotland
over the period 2008/9 – 2010/11, however levels of future funding will not be
known until the Spending Review is concluded.
Council Funding Streams
6.28 The Council also uses its own resources to meet the key strategic objectives
identified within the Strategic Community Plan, Single Outcome Agreement and
Local Housing Strategy and details of the various funding streams are set out
below.
Council New Build Programme
6.29 The Council continues to maximise the provision of new social housing locally by
adopting a ‘twin-track’ approach involving both direct provision by the Council and
partnership working with RSLs. This allows any HRA resources directed to new
house building to be complemented by external development funding from the
Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Investment Programme. Such an
approach also provides a degree of certainty for RSL partners in their forward
planning of investment programmes in the Council area by identifying appropriate
development sites for housing partnership projects.
6.30 The Council’s new build programme now includes the delivery of an additional 120
new affordable social rented homes over the period of the SHIP (Appendix 1e).
The total cost of delivering these units is estimated to be approximately £12.07m,
comprising: £8.09m capital investment by the Council, a Council land contribution
of approximately £800k and £3.18m Scottish Government grant funding. The
details of the individual projects are contained within the SHIP templates (Appendix
1a) and in the Project Summary (Appendix 7).
48

Use of Council Land/Assets
6.31 Over recent years, Falkirk Council has disposed of Council-owned land to RSL
development partners at affordable land use value, as determined by the District
Valuer. Traditionally, the difference between the full market value and the
affordable land use value formed part of Falkirk Council’s financial contribution
towards increasing the supply of affordable housing by reducing the requirement for
HAG. Over the period of this SHIP, there are currently no Council contributions
towards land costs as only one Council site is contained within the main SHIP and
this has been assessed by the District Valuer as having the same value for
unrestricted and restricted land use.
6.32 In addition to the Council’s financial contribution from reduced land values, further
indirect contributions have been made by providing sites for development through
the demolition of low demand stock. This process, which formed an integral part of
the Council’s LHS 2004-09 stock strategy, has required the input of significant
Council resources in repurchasing any stock previously sold under the Right to
Buy, as well as making statutory compensation payments to tenants and owners.
The Council has also, in most stock disposal projects, arranged and financed
demolitions to create cleared development sites to facilitate parts of the Council’s
new build programme and affordable housing opportunities for our RSL partners.
2010-11 has seen the conclusion of the RSL activity in this respect with the
completion of the development at Wood Street, Grangemouth.
Council Tax on Second Homes
6.33 The balance of the funds that have accrued since the introduction in 2005/06 of the
change in Council Tax concessions for second homes, is currently £1.216m.
Following Scottish Government confirmation that this funding may be used by local
authorities as a funding stream for new Council house building this resource is
being used to reduce borrowing against the rest of the new build programme.
Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS)
6.34 In line with the Scottish Government target that the social rented housing stock in
Scotland should meet the SHQS by 2012, the Council is using prudential
borrowing to supplement income levels to ensure sufficient investment is available
to do this in respect of its own housing stock. The Council is delivering a planned
capital investment programme of SHQS-related works of £15.95m in the current
year falling to £14.75m in 2011-12 and 2012-13. The programme will require to be
kept under constant review to ensure that the resource assumptions remain valid
and the imminent completion of a whole stock condition survey that is currently
underway will assist in ensuring that future planning assumptions are robust.
Repair & Maintenance of Existing Stock
6.35 The Council’s strategy to meet the SHQS is supplemented by £14.39m revenue
expenditure per annum to ensure that its existing stock is repaired and maintained
to an acceptable standard. This sum includes provision for aids and adaptations
to the existing stock to meet the needs of people with disabilities (£1.1m) and all
general maintenance, planned maintenance and costs associated with void
houses.
49

6.36 The overall financial contribution that the Council will be making to the provision of
good quality affordable housing over the period of this SHIP is set out in table 7
below:

Project Prioritisation
6.38 In progressing the investment proposals outlined in this SHIP, it is vital that there
are clear priorities that all the development partners understand and to which they
are committed. Given the anticipated reduction in available funding over the
coming years, as above, it is more critical than ever that potential projects are
scrutinised to ensure projects are deliverable, in the right location, and meet
strategic needs. In order to achieve this, a scoring system has been established
to make sure the projects with the greatest overall priority are delivered first.
6.39 As noted above, the resource planning assumptions that underpin this SHIP
involve a 25% reduction in funding over the four years of the 2010 Spending
Review period. However, given that the reduction in funding could be more
significant, it is important that wider scenario planning models are developed that
clearly prioritise projects based upon a robust set of criteria. Clearly defining the
priority of each project allows for projects to be programmed based on the
outcome of the final resource allocations set by the Scottish Government.
6.40 Each project submitted by RSL development partners has been assessed using a
scoring matrix based on the following criteria:
• Contribution towards the Council’s strategic objectives
• Contribution towards meeting priority housing need
• Land ownership
• Current land use
• Statutory approvals
• Finance appraisal
• Regeneration
6.41 Full details of the scoring criteria and the individual project assessments are
detailed in Appendix 8.

7.
NEW FUNDING MODELS & PROCUREMENT
General
7.1 The Scottish Government’s housing policy discussion document, Housing: Fresh
Thinking, New Ideas poses fundamental questions about the way homes can be
built, allocated, funded and managed. One of the five key themes outlined in the
document is that increasing the supply of affordable housing is critical. The
document identifies that if housing need is to be addressed in this new financial
climate, a fundamental change in the methods employed to finance and deliver new
affordable homes is required. The document outlines a clear message that there is
little prospect of meeting need if delivery is pursued only through traditional funding
models.
7.2 As a result of the financial challenges facing the housing sector, it is clear that new
funding sources and models for increasing the supply of affordable housing are
essential. The discussion document outlines that potential funding models
currently in place or under consideration include:
• Council House Building Incentive,
• Leverage models,
• Shared equity,
• Co-operative and mutual home ownership models,
• Housing and Infrastructure Loan Fund,
• Planning Policy, Conditions and Agreements,
• Innovative Bidding Arrangements,
• Landlords getting more value from existing resources,
• New sources of finance for RSLs,
• Cross-subsidy models,
• Reducing barriers to investment.
7.3 Falkirk Council has a well developed Council house building programme and has
demonstrated a willingness to consider and participate in new innovative solutions
to increasing the supply of affordable housing. The Council will continue to adopt
this approach to try to meet the strategic objective of increasing the supply of new
affordable housing that provides a diverse range of affordable housing options for
the current and future needs of residents wishing to live in the Falkirk Council area.
Procurement
7.4 In terms of procurement and the efficiencies and community benefits that can be
achieved through a strategic approach to it, the Council is fully committed to looking
at new ways of delivering objectives and will encourage and contribute to new and
innovative procurement models to ensure the best social return on investment is
achieved when delivering new affordable housing.
52

7.5 The Council will continue to liaise and co-operate with the Scottish Government’s
Housing Investment Division (HID) and with the local RSL Forum to consider the
options for joint/streamlined procurement processes in terms of the projects
outlined in this SHIP. The Council will continue to engage with its RSL partners
and HID to develop a procurement framework that will underpin the preparation of
future SHIPs.
7.6 Over the past 4 years the average grant requirement per unit for social rented units
delivered in the Council area through the AHIP has reduced year-on-year from an
average of £83,260 per unit in 2006-07 to an average of £66,562 in 2009/10
(Appendix 9). The Council will continue to promote and support efficiency savings
which, if this trend continues, will allow more new affordable homes to be delivered
during the impending period of budget contraction.
Community Benefits from Procurement Processes
7.7 Falkirk Council is actively working towards embedding a community benefits in
procurement approach within Council Services and with other public sector
organisations to expand the scope and quantity of employment and training
opportunities linked to the local action plans for increasing skills and employability
for those priority clients of working age who are currently unemployed (Workforce
Plus and More Choices, More Chances).
7.8 A presentation outlining the process and benefits of adopting a community benefits
in procurement approach was presented to the Falkirk RSL Forum meeting on 13 th
May 2010. The Council is fully committed to working with RSLs in order to
incorporate local community benefits into their procurement processes.
7.9 This is evidenced in the following ways:
• The Council includes community benefit clauses in its building contracts for new
council housing and/or maintenance/repair which require the successful
contractor to provide training opportunities dependent on the size and duration
of the build, e.g. the contract to build 8 new homes at Sawyers Avenue, Denny
required at least one training opportunity to be provided throughout the duration
of the contract,
• The contract for the extensive refurbishment of the high rise flats at Eastburn
Tower, Falkirk requires the successful contractor to provide at least four training
opportunities for the duration of the contract,
• Following the success of the Link Group’s projects at Lomond Drive, Langlees
and Wood Street, Grangemouth which provided 9 pre-apprenticeship training
places, a good working relationship has developed to ensure future building
projects incorporate community benefits into the procurement process. A
further example of good working relationships with Link Group resulted in
Persimmon Homes providing two training opportunities at the housing
development at Bellsdyke, Larbert,
53

• A positive meeting took place with Hanover Housing Association who agreed to
incorporate community benefits into their procurement process for future builds.
At the time of the meeting the award of the build at Thorndene Terrace was due
to be announced and it was not possible to incorporate community benefits,
however, the successful contractor (CCG Scotland) provided one training
opportunity.
7.10 These positive outcomes demonstrate the value of incorporating community
benefits in the procurement process and supports Falkirk Council’s commitment to
increasing skills and employability for those priority clients of working age that are
currently unemployed.
54

8. REGENERATION
8.1 One of the key themes in the Council’s Corporate Plan is tackling disadvantage and
discrimination and it is clear that investment in housing and regeneration activity
can play a major role in helping to achieve sustainable improvements in particular
priority areas. An important element in the Council’s Local Housing Strategy 2004-
09 was the creation of development opportunities for new social housing through
the redevelopment of areas of low demand housing stock which had blighted local
communities.
8.2 The SIMD 2009 (revised version) identified 17 data zones in the Falkirk Council
area which fall within the worst 15% overall in Scotland (Map 2). There are a total
of 197 data zones in Falkirk, each with an average population of 750. The “worst
15% data zones” are those where there are high aggregated measures of
deprivation, based on income, employment, educational attainment, health and
crime. 8.6% of Falkirk’s data zones fall within this definition of deprivation. This is a
decrease of 1.4% since the previous SIMD data were published in 2006. Although
there is no significant evidence of deprivation in relation to housing indices, it is
considered that appropriate investment in housing conditions can play an important
role in area regeneration strategies for specific priority estates.
8.3 Those local data zones in the worst 15% in Scotland form the basis of the Council’s
and Community Planning Partnership’s ten Priority Areas in relation to the
Community Regeneration Strategy (Map 3). Within these areas, housing
investment, involving Council stock improvements and development partnership
activity in respect of new social housing provision, will be taken forward through the
Standard Delivery Plan (SDP) and Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP).
8.4 The Priority Areas referred to above include parts of:
• Dawson,
• Grangemouth,
• Camelon,
• High Rise Flats, Falkirk,
• Maddiston,
• Westquarter,
• Bo’ness,
• Denny,
• ‘The Bog’ area, Falkirk,
• ‘The Valley’ area, Stenhousemuir.
55

8.5 In addition to these 10 SIMD Priority Areas there is substantive housing
regeneration activity in other parts of the Falkirk Council area including:
• Town centre areas, where the redevelopment includes existing and
proposed residential accommodation,
• Substantive housing refurbishment projects, for example at Little Denny and
at Drum Road and Corbiehall, Bo’ness,
• New Council house building as set out in paragraphs 5.28 and 5.29 above.
8.6 Ongoing estate-based improvements in the Priority Areas are identified through the
development of annual Neighbourhood Improvement Plans which seek to enhance
amenity through environmental improvement projects and housing management
initiatives to complement upgrading of the housing stock. An important factor in
this work is the increasing need to work with owner-occupiers in what are now
multi-tenure estates as a result of the Right to Buy legislation.
8.7 Estate-based environmental improvements are taken forward through a
combination of internal and external funding packages. The funding contributions
from Falkirk Council allow grant applications to outside sources and can also
encourage communities to make their own funding applications. For example, The
Housing Estates Regeneration Outcomes Squads (HEROS) is funded through a
number of sources, including Fairer Scotland. The HEROS provide local people,
particularly local young people, with the opportunity to carry out environmental
improvement projects within their own community, as well as improving their
employability skills. This allows local people to participate directly in the planning
and implementation of local environmental improvements. This level of
involvement is seen as a key part of housing regeneration.
8.8 Spending constraints affecting external agencies, government organisations and
local authorities are likely to affect the scale of future regeneration activity. It is
therefore particularly important to identify projects where selective interventions can
yield significant regeneration outcomes. This means working even more closely
with community groups and with community organisations. It also means that the
scale of the projects may be smaller, focusing on projects such as local community
gardens, school grounds, safe footpaths, improving privacy, treating local eyesores,
and so on.
56

9. SUSTAINABILITY
9.1 Within Firm Foundations and the new consolidated SPP3, the Scottish
Government has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainable development
through improving energy efficiency, increasing quality and environmental
standards for new housing developments, contributing to reducing carbon dioxide
emissions and helping meet the challenge of climate change. The new Climate
Change (Scotland) Act 2009 which introduces new statutory duties for public
bodies such as local authorities means that there is now increasing pressure to
reduce emissions and generally to exercise their functions in the most sustainable
way – new demanding targets now require to be met. The measures by which
Falkirk Council and its partners aim to tackle this challenging agenda are set out
below.
Strategic Community Plan
9.2 The Falkirk Strategic Community Plan, 2005-2010, ‘Working in Partnership for the
Falkirk Council Area’ sets out how all public agencies and community partners will
work together to achieve the vision for the area. This Plan provides a strategic
framework that sets out a number of broad priorities for the major public sector
organisations to deliver over this period. The Plan sets out a vision for sustainable
development within the Council area:
The legacy of our past and the potential of our future are protected. We will invest
in opportunities that support local communities in a balanced and environmentally
sustained way. The principle of sustainable development will underpin all our
decisions and actions.
Priorities for the Future
9.3 In order to achieve the vision and create a sustainable environment the Council
has agreed to:
• Contribute to action addressing climate change,
• Improve its approach to waste management,
• Improve the quality of the built and natural environment,
• Promote a safe and efficient multi-modal transport system, which minimises
impact on the environment,
• Raise awareness of sustainable development and environmental issues
within communities and with partners.
57

Sustainable Falkirk Strategy
9.4 The value placed on the local environment and the importance attached to the
sustainable development approach is further developed through the Sustainable
Falkirk Strategy 2006-10, which commits the Council to working towards
sustainable development. This Strategy provides an umbrella for a wide range of
actions aiming to improve the local environment and quality of life, while
contributing to national/global action on the environment. The strategy identifies
the following as priority areas:
• Energy efficiency,
• Wise use of resources,
• Greener transport,
• Protection and enhancement of the natural and man-made environment.
Local Plan
9.5 Whilst SPP3 and PAN84 seek to deliver renewable energy targets through the
planning system, the Council’s Local Plan sets out the principles of sustainable
development by which individual development projects detailed in this SHIP will be
assessed and scrutinised as part of the statutory approval process:
• Policy EQ1 ‘Sustainable Design Principles’ requires all new developments to
achieve a high standard of design quality and compliance with principles of
sustainable development relating to:
- Natural and build heritage,
- Urban and landscape design,
- Accessibility, resource use,
- Infrastructure and maintenance.
• Policy EQ6 ‘Design & Energy Use’ requires developers to demonstrate how they
have assessed and pursued opportunities for sustainable energy use in new
developments where possible, with particular reference to:
- Local climatic factors in the layout and orientation of buildings,
- The utilisation of renewable energy sources to meet the energy needs of
development,
- Combined heat and power and community heating schemes.
Building Standards
9.6 In addition to the measures which can be taken through the planning system,
there is the requirement to satisfy National Building Standards in terms of the
Building (Scotland) Act 2003. Building Standards are supported by Technical
Handbooks which provide guidance on achieving the standards set in the Building
(Scotland) Regulations 2004 and Building (Scotland) Amendment Regulation
2010. The Technical Handbooks are available in two volumes, which are in
relation to Domestic and Non-Domestic buildings.
58

9.7 The latest amendments to the Technical Standards for 2010 came into force from
1 October 2010 and set out the minimum standards that must be achieved when
designing new domestic and non-domestic buildings. The Council will work with
development partners to ensure that all new developments meet (and where
possible exceed) the minimum standards set out in the Technical Handbooks.
The Technical Handbooks 2010 are guidance documents and allow for alternative
innovative solutions to achieve compliance within the specific performance
Standard. The 2010 amendments in relation to new domestic buildings focus on
improved standards for environmental, noise and energy performance amongst
other changes.
Barriers to Achieving High Environmental Standards
9.8 As noted in paragraph 4.4, the Council’s Local Plan promotes sustainability by
aiming to achieve quality community infrastructure through developers’
contributions towards the provision of improved infrastructure. Recent planning
consents have required RSL development partners to make a contribution toward
open space provision where they have not met the required open space standard
within the development site. Although this is a planning condition, the Housing &
Regeneration Directorate has taken the view that the contributions are not HAG
eligible and this could impact on the deliverability of future partnership
development projects. This is an issue which will require ongoing discussion
between the Scottish Government, local authorities and development partners
such as RSLs and is likely to become an increasing issue in the coming years if
the current constraints on public expenditure continue.
9.9 The Council will continue to work in partnership with its RSL development partners
to promote sustainable development and energy efficiency at the design stage of
all new developments contained within the SHIP. However, it is recognised that
delivering highly energy efficient, sustainable homes beyond the statutory targets
has cost implications for development partners which require to be addressed.
Home Energy Strategy
9.10 Progress continues towards meeting the aims of the Home Energy Strategy 2008-
11 which sets out the Council’s commitment to improving the energy efficiency of
the housing stock and addressing issues of fuel poverty affecting vulnerable
households. The main focus during 2010/11 is to improve the energy efficiency of
the housing stock in all tenures and to address the factors that affect fuel poverty.
With this in mind, the Council will be continuing its programmes of insulation
improvements and central heating replacement in its own stock and targeting over
15,000 owner occupiers to encourage them to take up assistance with insulation
measures, income maximisation and tariff advice. This latter initiative addresses
fuel poverty and is funded through the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target
funding provided by the Scottish Government and energy companies.
9.11 Partnership with the local Energy Saving Scotland advice centres (ESSac)
continues with the main focus this year being on income maximisation. A number
of events have been planned in conjunction with ESSac to reach residents from all
sectors of the Falkirk Council area.
59

Council New Build Programme
9.12 The Council’s new build programme aims to deliver high quality, sustainable,
efficient homes that go beyond the standard requirements set out in the Council’s
Local Plan and the Building Standards. Individual projects will be assessed to
establish the most effective and efficient use of new and emerging technologies to
ensure these new homes are sustainable and energy efficient.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
9.13 In line with SHIP guidance it is recognised that it is the duty of the Council to
establish whether a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is required for the
SHIP. A scoping exercise was submitted to the SEA Gateway who advised that a
full SEA was required. A similar exercise with the same result was carried out for
the new style LHS. Although initial screening has been carried out for the SHIP,
following advice from the SEA Gateway, it is proposed to bring together one SEA
for the SHIP and the LHS and this will be done in 2011 as part of the preparation
of the next full LHS 2011-16.
60

10. CONCLUSION
10.1 This SHIP sets out an ambitious housing partnership development programme to
be pursued over the coming five years. It recognises that with a programme of
this scale and complexity, there will be a range of development constraints which
will, in some cases, impact on project deliverability. On this basis, it has been
necessary to plan a programme beyond current resource availability to allow for a
degree of slippage on projects and to ensure that available resources are fully
utilised year to year.
10.2 The SHIP has been prepared against a backdrop of likely significant budget cuts
over the next 4 years - the working assumption on which the SHIP is based is that
there is likely to be a 25% cut in funding over the first four years of the SHIP
depending on the outcomes of the comprehensive spending review. Given the
anticipated reduction in available funding, this SHIP has involved the detailed
scrutiny of every potential project to ensure it is deliverable, in the right location
and meets strategic needs.
10.3 The availability of funding from the Scottish Government will largely determine the
number of units that can be achieved and the programme is flexible enough to
allow projects to be brought forward should additional resources become available
at any point.
10.4 It is considered that this programme provides a strong basis for ongoing liaison
with the Housing & Regeneration Directorate in terms of resource allocation and
investment programming. The SHIP also provides a framework for discussions
with RSL partners on future Local Housing Strategy priorities and with private
developers in respect of affordable housing provision.
10.5 As noted above, cognisance has been given to the development constraints that
might hinder project delivery. At a strategic level, the issue of future land supply
for affordable housing will continue to be a significant issue. At the present time,
most of the housing development sites identified through the Housing Land Audit
over the period of this SHIP already have planning consent: this means that the
Council’s Affordable Housing Policy does not apply to them. With virtually all of
this land being in private ownership, there is a need to continue to explore
appropriate partnership arrangements with land owners, developers and RSLs to
help identify affordable housing opportunities in the longer term.
10.6 At a project level, a variety of development constraints (associated with
infrastructure such as drainage, flood risks and consultation zones, along with a
range of planning requirements) mean that a proactive approach to liaison with
other statutory agencies at the earliest possible stage will be required. A predevelopment
checklist is now in use covering the range of Council services
involved in the implementation of housing partnership schemes to help anticipate

Equalities Impact Assessment 2010
Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2010
Equalities Impact Assessment SHIP 2010
2. What is the aim, objective or purpose of the policy?
The Scottish Government allocates the resources within the affordable housing
investment programme to the Council. This must be allocated by the Council to
Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) to build new affordable housing units.
In addition the Council also allocates its own funds to build new housing.
The SHIP pulls all this together.
Therefore the main purpose of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan is to illustrate how
identified needs and priorities in relation to affordable housing will be tackled, with an
emphasis on how projects will be delivered in practice, having regard to available
resources, partnership working and development constraints.
3. Who implements the policy?
Falkirk Council - Corporate and Neighbourhood services (Strategy and Development
Team) and Planning, Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) with a development
programme. SHIP overseen by the RSL Forum.
4. Who are the stakeholders or who is intended to benefit from the Policy and in what way
(for example, staff, service users, visitors)?
Falkirk Council - Corporate and Neighbourhood services Strategy and Development
Team and Planning, RSLs with a development programme. Applicants on Council/RSL
waiting lists.
5. What data is available to facilitate the screening of the policy?
ODS (2006) Assessing the Housing Needs of Minority Ethnic Communities in Falkirk
Newhaven Research (2007) Falkirk Council Affordable Housing Needs
Falkirk Council (2009) Summary Local Housing Needs Assessments
RSL proformas (2010)
Falkirk Council (2009) Identifying the Housing Market
Falkirk Council (2010) The Current Housing Market
Falkirk Council (2010) Housing Need
6. Is there any evidence of higher or lower uptake or exclusion by any of the equality
strands?
7./

7. Does evidence indicate there is access to services and benefits reduced or denied for
some groups?
There is no evidence.
8. Do particular groups face increased difficulty or indignity as a result of the Policy?
There is no evidence.
9. Are there any higher complaints or lower satisfaction rates from particular groups in
connection with the policy?

Appendix 4b includes information from Paragon Housing Association and Weslo
Housing Management on Race and age for new build lets for 2009-2010. Link Housing
Association provided information for new build lets on gender, race, age and economic
activity for 2009-2010 and information on religion, sexual orientation and disability for
January-March 2010.
