Reflections on progress

Future of London
Jim Bennett, 15 June 2010
Single Conversation


Replaces previous multiple conversations

Main business process for the HCA

Focus on places  delivering local priorities

Joint approach with local authorities and partners

Comprehensive coverage of housing and regeneration
Progress


c160 Single Conversation areas

Conversations started in 157

24 LIPs agreed

Some delayed by election



Independent Interim Evaluation
Interim evaluation - purpose
  Provide feedback from local authorities
  and partners on the process

  Provide an overview of how the model is
  being applied in different regions and
  circumstances

  Identify barriers and challenges in
  implementation

  Provide early evidence of the benefits
  achieved to date, and further benefits that
  could be realised

  Inform further implementation of the
  business model

  Inform our Spending Review discussions
  with CLG / HMT
Good progress
Strong support from local
authorities and partners

Consistent with wider direction of
travel for public policy

Already influencing investment
decisions on current programmes

Local Investment Plans (LIPs)
effectively support local
authorities strategies

Initial focus on housing and
regeneration; expected to develop
into comprehensive approach to
place shaping
Benefits

  Harnessing HCA & other
  resources for communities and
  places

  Place focus brings coherence of
  partners for efficiencies

  Long term public investment
  management can help leverage

  Overall strategic approach
  increases performance and
  impact
Challenges

Inherited programmes, flexibilities, uncertainties

Balance of national and local priorities

Guidance and information
  interpretation
  flexibility
  inconsistency


Capacity and track record - progress is faster with strategic
partnerships eg MAAs

Milestones for starts exceeded, but no target date for completing all
LIPs
Recommendations

More consistency
More certainty in funding and flexibility
Encourage sub-regional partnerships /
two tier approach
Encourage LAs to bring in delivery
partners earlier
Refresh definition as holistic
Clarify appraisals of LIPs
Peer assessment
Responding to the reflections


  Define core elements for LIPs for
  more consistency while keeping
  local flexibility

  Internal peer assurance of early
  LIPs for appraisal and sharing
  good practice

  Aim to complete Local Investment
  Plans by March 2011.

 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?

Delegated Delivery  whats on offer?


Presented by: Stephen McDonald
              AD Regeneration
              London Borough of Hackney

   Hackney context
   So what is the Delegated Delivery Pilot (DDP) all about
   Emerging ideas
   Colville  the challenge
   Next steps
Delegated Delivery  whats on offer?




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
    completions in 2009/10  equivalent to 1% of the
    total stock
   In 2009/10  secured largest proportion of LA
    Newbuild funding in London
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
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.
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)
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
