The document summarizes a presentation on the London Borough of Hackney's involvement in the Delegated Delivery Pilot program.
[1] The pilot program aims to give boroughs greater control over affordable housing delivery through multi-year contracts in exchange for higher delivery targets. [2] Hackney was selected based on its strong track record of housing delivery and innovative approach. [3] An initial challenge is redeveloping the Colville estate, which requires substantial funding for vacant possession but could double housing densities.

framework
Is the activity essential to meet Govt priorities?
Does the Govt need to fund this activity?
Does the activity provide substantial economic
value?
Can the activity be targeted to those most in
need?
How can the activity be provided at lower cost?
How can the activity be provided more effectively?
Can the activity be provided by a non-state
provider to the citizens, wholly or in partnership?
Can non-state providers be paid to carry out the
activity according to the results they achieve?
Can local bodies as opposed to central
government provide the activity?
27. Next
Publish interim evaluation
Implement core elements and
peer assurance process

The Hackney context
Highest proportion of social housing of all London
boroughs 48%
Third most deprived borough in England
Large estate renewal programme (e.g. Woodberry
Down)
Delivered nearly 1,000 affordable housing

32. Delegated Delivery whats on offer?
So what is the Delegated Delivery Pilot (DDP) all about?
The development of borough-level contracts for delivery allowing for greater
control and freedoms over affordable housing delivery in return for signing up to
more challenging delivery targets
DDP is an extension to the Single Conversation for three boroughs
Delegations tested against ability to improve delivery and promote sustainable
communities.
London Mayor invited Hackney, Westminster and Croydon cross section of
central, inner and outer boroughs, along with key players from: CLG, GOL, G15,
LDA, London Councils
Hackney selected for record of delivery and proactive and innovative approach
to housing issues
33. Delegated Delivery whats on offer
Emerging ideas
Each borough has produced an initial paper on their designated topic, and will lead on
developing proposals with partners on the Steering Group.
Boroughs to highlight how proposals will increase delivery, improve efficiency, and
tailor delivery to local circumstances.
Intermediate housing offer (Westminster) provision of bespoke intermediate housing
products, commissioned at the local level
Selecting and commissioning delivery partners (Croydon) working with HCA, CLG and
G15 to develop proposals
Estate renewal (Hackney) investment flexibility e.g. HCA providing subsidy to
purchase leasehold interests at the outset, based on returns in later phases of a
project.
34. Delegated Delivery whats on offer?
Colville the challenge
A post war estate of 438 units
Of which 100 are owner-occupied
Space to double densities
Close to town and therefore high land values
But also means VP costs are high (est. 贈30m)
Estimated grant costs for the scheme are 贈48m (est)
35. Delegated Delivery whats on offer?
Next Steps
The timetable is designed to enable individual borough contracts to come into operation
from April 2011. At this point the Pilot will be rolled out to other local authorities.
Now - September 2010 - draft borough contracts developed
22 September 2010 draft borough contracts reviewed by HCA London Board
September to March 2011 finalise borough contracts and test flexibilities
April 2011 potential to roll out Pilot to other local authorities
