Local Authority Housing Fund - Updated Decision
On 11th April 2023 a decision was made to
accept £3.04m of government Local Authority Housing Fund
grant to obtain and refurbish property in order to provide
sustainable housing for those unable to secure their own
accommodation and are who here under specific schemes for people
from Ukraine and Afghanistan. Also to fully approve an initial
capital budget of £250k funded by this grant to initiate
technical design work.
Initial technical design work and pre-application planning advice
required to support a planning application to repurpose upper
floors of three surplus commercial properties, has demonstrated
that the time and cost impacts of conversion including achieving
EPC Level C on these properties, places them at a high risk of
failing to meet LAHF programme criteria. The forecast completion
date of February 2025 places them outside the contracted programme
timescale.
