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 and respond to potential constraints and restrictions which might impact on project delivery; pre-application discussions take place between the Council and RSLs/developers to identify and tackle any constraints at the earliest opportunity. 61
