4 1. FOREWORD Welcome to our 12th Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) Annual Performance Review. In 2014/15 we provided grant to support the delivery of a total of 831 new and improved affordable homes, exceeding our target of 817. This Review highlights where these homes were delivered, how much they cost, what type of homes were provided, and how this contributed to meeting housing need in the city. It also shows the level of funding for medical adaptations to existing homes, assisting people with physical difficulties to remain in their homes as far as possible. 2014/15 saw us reach the mid-point in our first 3 year programme (2012/ /16). Increased subsidy levels and more flexibility, around the timing and allocation of grant for social rented units, has seen an increase in RSL development activity in 2014/15. However, there are still some challenges around the subsidy levels and the allocation of grant and, in particular, for Mid Market Rented development. Our AHSP also continues to support the delivery of large scale housing led regeneration projects across the city. 2014/15 saw the City host the Best Commonwealth Games Ever and showcased our city in all its glory. However, after the excitement of the Games subsided, the true legacy of the Games became a reality as 700 new homes in the multi award winning games village were converted into 700 new homes for rent and sale. Demand for the Games Village homes has been staggering, bringing both new and former residents back into the East End.

5 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme In July 2014, the council also secured over 100m of City Deals funding from the UK Government and Scottish Government to contribute towards the delivery of a number of key infrastructure projects in the City, including Sighthill Transformational Regeneration Area (TRA). In December 2014, the council committed a further 50m from its own resources, allowing the masterplan for a new urban village including up to 800 new homes for rent and sale to be realised. Despite our achievements, we are acutely aware of the continued economic realities and pressures facing our development partners. There is no doubt that major challenges lie ahead and new ways will be required to deliver the programme and create the balance and choice for a modern Glasgow. In 2015/16 we will continue to work with our colleagues in Scottish Government, RSLs, developers and other partners to facilitate housing development across all tenures to ensure we create the new homes and sustainable communities that we need, so that our people can indeed, make Glasgow home.

7 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme WHEATLEY GROUP BOND PROGRAMME In November 2014, Wheatley Housing Group raised 300m on the Bond Market to facilitate an investment programme across Scotland, but focussed mainly in Glasgow. The Bond Programme will be delivered over 7 years delivering 1700 new social and midmarket rented homes in Glasgow. The Scottish Government have backed the bond with additional Housing Supply Subsidy over 7 years, over and above Glasgow s TMDF allocation. This additional subsidy is being provided on the condition that the Bond Programme will deliver at least 25% below benchmark as a result of economies of scale. Scottish Government will manage the WG Bond Programme nationally to ensure targets are met across the programme. WG s other Glasgow based RSL s, Cube HA and Loretto HA, will continue to be managed by GCC under TMDF arrangements but will be subject to the same lower subsidy levels as GHA projects. Performance in relation to the WG Bond programme will be reported in the 2015/16 Performance Review Document and thereafter. The council has welcomed this additional investment in the city s housing stock both from Wheatley Group and Scottish Government. Scottish Government has agreed that special management arrangements should be put in place with the council and WG to manage the programme. This will ensure that the bond programme does not displace the council s main AHSP and that both programmes meet the council s strategic priorities.

Here are our highlights: We spent a total of m of Affordable Housing Supply Grant in 2014/15 bringing the total amount of grant funding to 819m over the last 11 years. We approved tenders for 697 new and improved homes in 2014/15. We approved 122 homes for mid market rent. Construction or refurbishment of 766 homes began on site in 2014/ homes were completed during the year. We funded 2.494m of adaptations to Housing Association homes. This has enabled 1053 households that have a family member with a disability or mobility issue to remain in their existing homes.

A total of 88 wheelchair accessible housing units were approved during the three year period between 2012/13 and 2014/15 and the overall unit target was met. Both the targets and number of wheelchair accessible housing units approved within each Housing Investment Area are detailed in Table 4. Wheelchair accessible units developed by GHA are not included within Table 4.

12 TABLE 5: LARGER FAMILY HOUSING UNIT APPROVALS BY HOUSING INVESTMENT AREA NORTH WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH TOTAL Larger Family Unit Target 2012/ / Approved 2012/ Approved 2013/ Approved 2014/ Larger Family Unit Approvals 2012/ / A larger family unit is defined as a home with 4 or more bedrooms and 6 or more bedspaces. Larger family unit targets have been developed to meet a number of policy requirements, including: The Council s Strategic Housing Investment Plan; and City Plan 2. Table 5 provides a breakdown of the number of larger family unit approvals and associated targets. A total of 37 larger family units were approved during 2012/13 and 2014/15, which is less than the target of 123 units. Larger family provision has been affected by current AHSP guidelines associated with the impact of Welfare Reform. It must also be noted that Table 5 does not include GHA larger family unit approvals.

In some instances, it may be that their current home is no longer appropriate. However, in recognising that it is important to give people who want to stay in their own homes the chance to do so, Glasgow City Council provides grants to housing association properties for adaptation. Adaptation funding (Stage 3 Funding) has helped to ensure independent living for those whose needs have changed and to improve the suitability of current homes for the elderly, disabled adults and disabled children. In 2014/2015, 2.494m of funding was allocated to 1053 homes, which were fitted with Stage 3 adaptations. Of the homes adapted, level access showers or wet shower rooms were in highest demand with the main recipient being disabled adults. Other common adaptations included the installation of internal and external safety rails and alterations to paths and steps. For 2015/16, an initial 2.100m has been programmed.

Overall development costs per m 2 show an increase of 14.5% compared with 2013/14, partly due to increasing inflation and also due to the large increase in Silver Standard projects approved within the 2014/15 year. Works cost costs per m2, which represent the most useful year-on-year comparison, show an increase of 14% Looking at new build figures only, the increased costs are in the region of 9.5% for development costs and circa 9% for works costs. The number of new build projects approved as Silver Standard has increased from 10% up to 75% over the 2014/15 year.

20 Table 12 does not include mid-market rent units or units purchased off the shelf. Overall, 45.4% of new build units were approved within Grant Subsidy Benchmark. The projects that were approved above the Grant Subsidy Benchmark included large developments that required measures to address abnormal costs including decontamination and site clearance. Benchmarks for 2014/15 depended on tenure and whether the development was expected to meet the greener standard of the Building Regulations, as follows: Tenure Standard 3P Greener 3P Benchmark Benchmark Social Rent 58,000 62,000 Mid-Market Rent 30,000 34,000 In 2014/15, 79% of new build units met the greener standard and were therefore appraised against the greener standard benchmark, whereas 21% of units were assessed against the standard benchmark.

21 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme 5. QUALITY, INNOVATION & SUSTAINABILITY Design Guide For Residential Areas Glasgow City Council s Design Guide for New Residential Areas is now being implemented across the AHSP, improving the design quality of all the projects. The principles of the Guide continue being applied as part of the new Planning process and it is expected that this will contribute to the design quality of all Glasgow s AHSP projects. Tender Price Inflation Over the last year there has been an increase on the tender prices by nearly 5%. It is the second year in a row that prices have increased at this rate, making projects 10% more expensive than two years ago. However, AHSP subsidy levels have not been increased in line with inflation and have remained the same since July 2013.Tender price increases are putting extra pressure on the quality of some projects, which have other additional costs and on occasion this is affecting the quality of product that can be achieved within benchmark. In particular, Mid-Market Rent and NSSE unit subsidy levels already present significant challenges in terms of delivery. Many RSLs are experiencing difficulty in delivering these type of schemes and our experience has been that the additional 4k available to meet Greener Homes Standard does not cover the costs of doing so, which is now compounded by tender price increases. This is a particular issue for Glasgow, where tenure diversification and meeting housing needs across a broad range of affordability levels is a strategic priority will also see a new revision of Section 6 (Energy) of the Building Regulations, adding higher energy efficiency targets and, therefore, increasing further the costs of projects. The council is concerned that these increased costs will lead to some schemes becoming unviable, particularly Mid Market Rent, NSSE and projects in areas where there are other additional costs such as high contamination, major infrastructure requirements or high land costs. Alternatively, projects that can be delivered may fail to meet Greener Homes standard and the quality and sustainability could decrease over the next few years. On a positive note, many of our 2014/15 projects (mainly for social rent) have met Greener Homes standard and have developed a more energy efficient and sustainable product. 75% of new build projects we approved in 2014/15 have been designed to achieve a Silver Standard in sustainability, as per Section 7 of the Building Regulations. Within this continued challenging context of increasing prices and stagnant subsidy levels, Glasgow s

22 AHSP continues to produce schemes that not only meet statutory requirements, but also provide enhanced quality, sustainability and innovation. The council maintains its determination in achieving Ecohomes Very Good rating for all AHSP projects and both Design and Post Construction certificates are requested as evidence of the council s commitment to sustainability. 75% of New Build Projects we approved in 2014/15 achieved Silver Standard as per Section 7 of the Building Regulations

24 Laurieston Transformational Regeneration Area

25 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme LAURIESTON TRA FEATURED PROJECT Laurieston is one of the City s eight Transformational Regeneration Areas (TRAs) The TRAs represent one of the most ambitious programmes of urban renewal in the UK. The overall programme is governed by a Special Purpose Regeneration Company known as Transforming Communities: Glasgow (TCG). TCG is a virtual company whose board is chaired by Bailie Liz Cameron. It consists of equal membership from GCC, GHA and the Scottish Government. Laurieston TRA is a thirteen hectare site bounded by Norfolk Street, Gorbals Street, Cumberland Street and Eglinton Street. The project was formally launched as a TRA in May 2012, following the signing of a Development Agreement between Glasgow City Council (on behalf of TCG) and private sector partner, Urban Union. Urban Union is a consortium consisting of McTaggart Construction and the Robertson Group. The delivery of the project is overseen by the Laurieston TRA Local Delivery Group (LDG) which reports to the board of TCG. The LDG meets quarterly and is chaired by Bailie Scanlon. It consists of members of the local community, New Gorbals Housing Association, Urban Union, officers representing TCG, and local elected members. The early phases of the project have been supported by 25m in housing association grant funding. This early public sector support has provided new homes for the existing core community and created a strong benchmark in terms of design and place making. Progress So Far. Phase 1A new homes for social rent have been completed for New Gorbals Housing Association. The total value of Phase 1A was 25m and was grant funded by Glasgow City Council and Scottish Government. It completed in November 2014 and rehoused the residents of the existing multistorey block at Norfolk Court along with other tenants displaced by NGHA and GHA s wider demolition programme. The remaining multi storey block will be demolished in Phase 1B - 69 Homes for Sale plus 39 Homes for Mid-Market Rent. Phase (1B) started on site in October Following a sales launch in November 2014, all 69 homes for sale have sold off plan exceeding all expectations of sales rates. The positive response to this first release of housing for sale

26 will help maintain regeneration momentum for the development of the remainder of the TRA site. Phase 1B is due for completion in March Phase 1C - Phase 1C consists of 46 flats for social rent and 9 for shared equity for New Gorbals Housing Association. This Phase started on site in April 2015 and is due for completion in June Phase 2 - Up to 200 homes for sale. A design competition has taken place and Urban Union are now working up a planning application for submission in Due to the unprecedented demand for Phase 1B, a waiting list of potential purchasers has already been started for this phase. The regeneration of Laurieston extends to other improvements to the area. These include the refurbishment of the Citizens Theatre and the tenement block opposite. 500k plus of Vacant and Derelict Land funding via Glasgow City Council and Scottish Government was received to provide environmental improvements to the land beside the railway arches at Cleland Lane, along Eglinton Street and beyond. Further information can be found at Later phases between Bedford and Norfolk Streets will be predominantly housing for sale, along with potential for a hotel and other commercial uses. The house types will vary from small flats to large townhouses, all designed to high standards of accessibility and sustainability. Overall, the Laurieston TRA will result in around a thousand new mixed tenure homes, commercial facilities and a new urban park.

27 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme Anderston ANDERSTON REGENERATION FEATURED PROJECT Sanctuary HA took ownership of 402 units at Anderston following a Large Scale Voluntary Stock Transfer from Communities Scotland in June Over the last decade the Association have undertaken clearance and demolition of the old stock providing three unique phases of new build housing. Grant of around 38m has been made available to support the large scale regeneration of Anderston. The aim of the project regeneration is to allow existing tenants and owners to remain in the Anderston area, in modern homes and thus helping to create a sustainable community. Progress so far Phase 1 - Phase 1 completed in 2011 providing 104 new units (93 social rent/11 shared equity ownership)

28 Phase 2 - Phase 2 provided another 72 homes in 2012 (70 social rent/2 shared equity) Phase 3 - The multi award winning Phase 3 completed in March 2015 and provided 158 units built in 2 stages. A variety of flats, larger maisonettes and town houses are provided with the addition of a retail unit. 5 of the units are offered for shared equity ownership and the remainder for social rent. Phase 3 follows the historical Victorian Street line of Argyle Street which was compromised during the comprehensive redevelopment of Anderston and subsequent new build of concrete multi-storey blocks during the 1960s. The design of Phase 3 focuses on the creation of a modern tenement style with all the flats arranged around three closes to help create and maintain the feeling of community within the development. The contractor for the project was CCG (Scotland) Ltd who utilised their bespoke closed panel timber kits in the development. These are produced by an offsite manufacturing facility which results in no waste and low carbon construction. Additional benefits of this method are consistent quality, thermal efficiency, rapid site erection, and less noise and pollution on site due to fewer vehicles required. All houses have ventilation systems designed to improve airflow. Larger windows capture light and heat from the sun which helps to reduce energy costs for residents. The materials chosen on the elevations make reference to the traditional Glasgow tenement. On the Argyle Street frontage materials have been chosen to complement the adjacent Victorian building, the former Savings Bank of Glasgow. Phases 4 and 5 - To complete the regeneration of the area, Glasgow City Council have committed to supporting a further two phases of housing at Anderston. This will comprise of a further 200 homes for social rent, mid-market rent and shared equity helping create a mixed and balanced community. The proximity of the development to the City Centre will help people on moderate incomes access affordable housing close to a number of the City s key employment hubs.

29 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme PETTIGREW STREET (PHASE 3) FEATURED PROJECT Between 2010/11 and 2014/15, Shettleston Housing Association worked in partnership with Glasgow City Council and GHA to deliver three phases of new build housing in the Pettigrew/Balintore Street area. The entire site was formerly occupied by interwar tenements. These were acquired by GHA as part of the 2003 stock transfer, and the site was then obtained by Shettleston HA under Second Stage transfer in March The tenements were then cleared in stages, with the final block demolished in January The total cost of development was in the region of 9million. Phases 1 and 3 were funded via Glasgow City Council, and Phase 2 was funded via the Scottish Government. Phase 1 - consisted of 36 flats, 33 amenity and 3 wheelchair units for social rent. Phase 2 - consisted of 12 houses and 18 flats for social rent. Phase 3 - Provides 24 flats for mid-market rent. Construction of Phase 3 started on site during August 2013 and the project completed in April Overall, the total cost of the Pettigrew Phase 3 development was 2.4million. This mid-market rent scheme has promoted tenure diversity within the local area and provided a high quality but affordable rental option. A total of 3.8million was funded by Glasgow City Council, GHA and Scottish Government towards the delivery of the three phases. The development has been designed to high standards in relation to energy efficiency, which will reduce the cost of heating for tenants. All flats developed as part of Pettigrew Street Phase 3 feature high levels of insulation, solar photovoltaic electric panels, triple-glazing and whole home ventilation with heat recovery.

35 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme 7. POST COMPLETION REVIEWS Post Completion Reviews (PCRs) are carried out annually on a selection of recently completed developments. PCRs enable us to assess the quality and value-for-money of developments, as well as informing investment in future schemes. Projects are selected to represent a cross-section of the Affordable Housing Supply Programme programme, although unique and/or innovative projects will be of particular interest. There are four main elements to the PCR: Physical quality - in terms of architectural and build quality Resident satisfaction - assessed through questionnaire surveys and visits to a selection of householders Project effectiveness - in terms of value-for-money timescales, and delivering what the project set out to achieve. Implications for the future (i.e. lessons learned from completed projects) For each PCR, a formal written report is issued and agreed with the Association. During 2014/15 PCRs were carried out on the following projects: RSL PROJECT Loretto HA Balmore Rd Partick HA Ferry Rd Queen s Cross HA Ancroft Street Queen s Cross HA Oban Drive West of Scotland HA Keppochhill Rd Loretto HA 1196 Tollcross Road Shettleston HA Pettigrew Phase 3 Home Scotland HA Cathcart Road Glen Oaks HA Kilmuir Crescent Sanctuary HA Burnbrae Primary School

36 Findings from 2014/15 PCRs are as detailed below: All projects have achieved the design and specification previously stipulated at tender stage. High standards of design and innovative ideas are continually being delivered by our Housing Association partners and their Design Teams under the Affordable Housing Supply Programme Tenant feedback is an important way of measuring the success of a development. Based on the 10 PCRs carried out during 2014/15 and the positive feedback from the tenants questionnaires, it is clearly evident that the majority of tenants were very satisfied with their new or improved home Some minor, but common issues raised by tenants were: Insufficient litter bins in communal areas. More contact information could have been contained in the tenants handbook for local health centres, schools etc particularly useful for new residents from outwith the area Tenants were pleased with having a downstairs toilet but didn t like the fact you had to access it from the kitchen Opening of windows was making cleaning very difficult Issues with metal grill on veranda flooring. This is not ideal for all tenants and meant a lack of privacy from above and below

37 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme 8. TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES: GLASGOW December 2014 marked the 5th Anniversary of the establishment of the TRA Partnership between Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Housing Association and the Scottish Government, now known as Transforming Communities: Glasgow (TCG). TCG is now a legally constituted Regeneration Company which oversees the planning and delivery of Glasgow s eight Transformational Regeneration Areas (TRAs). Over the last year, since the 2013/14 Performance Review was published, continued progress has been made by TCG and its local partners in relation to both the delivery and future planning of the programme. On site activity continues in the original three pilot TRAs (Laurieston, Gallowgate and Maryhill) and on site activity has also commenced on a second phase of TRA project activations in North Toryglen and Sighthill, with Pollokshaws to follow. Further details of progress to date are provided below. Progress in respect of Laurieston is detailed in our Feature Projects Section at Page 25. MARYHILL TRA Maryhill Locks was one of the first TRAs to be activated. Phase 2 has now almost completed. The new housing development by Maryhill Housing Association, funded by Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government, has provided 106 homes for social rent, mainly for GHA tenants requiring rehousing from clearance areas. The Association have also provided 19 units for shared equity sale. The development has transformed the area formerly known locally as the Valley providing modern affordable housing. The development has also made a contribution to the regeneration of the Forth and Clyde Canal, by providing canal side housing and enhancing the Maryhill Locks area of the canal which is the focus of partnership and regeneration activity through the Glasgow Canal Partnership.

38 The original masterplan for the TRA is currently under review and will update the potential housing layouts to provide units for private sale. The review will focus on the remaining large site adjacent to Phase 2. The masterplan update will also consider the potential for a self build project within this area. The provision of self build housing is a current Council priority and will provide a unique opportunity for people to access plots to build their own homes. On the other side of the canal at the area of the TRA known as the Botany, the Council is finalising arrangements with BIGG Regeneration Ltd to take forward the proposals for 73 units for private sale over 2 phases. This new build private housing will contribute to the continuing regeneration of the Maryhill TRA by creating a mixed tenure, sustainable neighbourhood. GALLOWGATE TRA Phase 1 new build consisting of 62 units for social rent completed in September Some environmental improvements have now also taken place, most notably the removal of the unsightly Gallowgate wall by GHA. The Bellgrove Hotel has undergone some internal and external improvements. Current proposals for the former Whitevale Baths building are to retain the main building and progress demolition of the other buildings, subject to Historic Scotland consent to demolition. The appearance of the main building will then be improved as a temporary measure. An exercise to refresh the Gallowgate Masterplan with regard to future phases of housing development which involves the private sector is also underway. POLLOKSHAWS TRA Pollokshaws is a thirteen hectare site located south-west of Shawlands. During 2014/15, Glasgow Housing Association continued with the process of clearing and demolishing the three remaining multi-storey blocks. This process will also take in the shopping arcade at Shawbridge Street. Lowther Homes (part of the Wheatley Group), also commenced on site refurbishing two low-rise blocks to give forty flats for mid market rent. GHA also received tender approval for forty-six flats for social rent facing Pollokshaws Road. A further 35 units for social rent are planned on the site of the Shawbridge Street Arcade. There will be six later phases of housing for sale. Overall, it is expected that around four hundred new homes will be constructed. EAST GOVAN/ IBROX TRA East Govan/Ibrox TRA differs from the others in that the area of vacant land available for redevelopment within the TRA boundary is relatively small. There are many other land uses present, including light industrial, commercial, sport and residential. The regeneration

39 Maryhill Locks Phase 2 Glasgow City Council Glasgow s Affordable Housing Supply Programme of the area is tied in with decisions regarding the Greater Govan area. City Deal funding will link Govan to Partick by way of a footbridge. Other influencing factors include the new Southern General Hospital and Fastlink. To assess and capitalise on these issues a Govan & Partick Charrette was organised and carried out in March The Charette successfully engaged with residents and organisations in both Govan and Partick. The outcomes from this exercise will inform future planning decisions SIGHTHILL TRA The Masterplan for Sighthill includes 141 units of social rented housing for GHA Approximately 650 new homes for sale and alternate tenures Approximately 500 student accommodation places A new campus school A new land bridge linking the area to the north and west of the city. This work is being funded by the Council and Scottish Government. Sighthill is also one of the early action projects to benefit from City Deals money. The 141 unit development for social rent commenced in January 2014 and completion is expected in September The Council s Education Department concluded its statutory consultation for a new school in Autumn 2014 as a replacement facility for the two existing schools. The new campus will incorporate a nursery and community and sports facilities. The design team are starting the outline design of the school in May with completion dates in August Site investigations have been carried out in Sighthill Park and the project is now live. Remediation is due to start on site in October 2015 and will create a platform for the new school. Commercial and community facilities
