2.12 Cunninghame Housing Association will resubmit their revised model<br />

to the Government in May 2012, however, to ensure a timeous<br />

response, should approval be then granted, the following have been<br />

identified as potential sites for delivery through the innovative funding<br />

model:<br />

�<br />

�<br />

�<br />

�<br />

�<br />

�<br />

Corsehillhead, Kilwinning (55 units)<br />

Harbourside, Ardrossan (52 units)<br />

Lawhill Farm, West Kilbride (64 units)<br />

Sharphill Phase 3, Saltcoats (30 units)<br />

Stanley Primary School, Ardrossan (30 units)<br />

Vineburgh Phase 4, Irvine (48 units)<br />

2.13 While <strong>North</strong> <strong>Ayrshire</strong> <strong>Council</strong> fully supports the Association's<br />

endeavour to secure additional affordable housing in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Ayrshire</strong>,<br />

and the inward investment that such funding will attract, it is not yet<br />

clear how any subsidy secured through the innovation model will<br />

impact on the <strong>Council</strong>’s core investment allocation (which is awarded<br />

to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Ayrshire</strong> by the Scottish Government, for affordable<br />

development projects).<br />

2.14 The <strong>Council</strong> (as the strategic housing enabler for the area) must<br />

ensure that core funding is used solely for the delivery of affordable<br />

housing development projects which meet our strategic objectives<br />

(outlined throughout this report). Therefore, at the moment it is<br />

proposed that, only any additional funding secured through the<br />

innovation model will be directed to the development projects detailed<br />

in paragraph 2.18.<br />

2.15 Another point of note relates to 'Vineburgh Phase 4' project detailed<br />

above. This site was originally Masterplaned for sale on the open<br />

market in order to provide an element of market housing in the<br />

regeneration area. However in the current economic climate it is<br />

considered unlikely that this land will sell in the short-medium term.<br />

2.16 Cunninghame Housing Association therefore, seek to include<br />

Vineburgh Phase 4 as a potential site for social housing should their<br />

innovation funding be secured. However, as this would be a deviation<br />

to the agreed Masterplan for the area, a further report would be<br />

submitted to the <strong>Executive</strong> of the <strong>Council</strong> prior to this proposal being<br />

taken any further.<br />
