1. INTRODUCTION TO THE SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PLAN 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services

covers the period from 2017/18 to 2019/20. The plan outlines what we intend to achieve over the next three years based on the resources likely to be available.

1.2 The plan notes the principal factors that will influence service needs, their

development and delivery. It sets out the main priorities to be pursued and outcomes to be achieved over the next three years. An action plan detailing these outcomes and key tasks is included in section 8. A performance scorecard is included in section 9 showing the performance indicators used to help measure progress towards achieving the priorities.

1.3 Elected members may be aware from previous reports that the Council is

actively working to address a range of demand and financial pressures. For Development and Housing Services, this includes managing the existing Council housing stock with its debt burden while keeping rents affordable. The continuing roll out of Universal Credit is also being managed to support tenants in sustaining their tenancies and to protect the service's largest income stream. Development and Housing Services also experiences demand pressures on services to Renfrewshire’s most vulnerable people such as those requiring housing advice and support and those threatened with or experiencing homelessness. The uncertain and variable national economic climate also impacts on the services’ strategies for Renfrewshire’s continued economic development requiring these to be dynamic and able to adapt quickly to this changing environment. The plan sets out the likely impact that these issues will have on Development and Housing Services and our plans for addressing it.

1.4 The Council Plan clearly articulates the Council’s priorities for Renfrewshire

and, along with the Community Plan, sets out an ambitious programme of work. Key activities for Development and Housing Services are closely aligned to both the Council and Community Plans, and support all local work undertaken across partnerships to deliver on these priorities for Renfrewshire, particularly in areas such as the physical and economic regeneration of Renfrewshire, protecting and promoting our heritage and also supporting our people into employment.

1.5 Service-level workforce plans and financial plans are also closely aligned to

Service Improvement Plans, and then translated into team and individual development plans.

1.6 Service planning informs the budget process by enabling budget proposals to be seen in a wider policy development context. In turn, the outcomes of the budget process shape the final content of Service Improvement Plans. Integration of the budget and the service planning process assists elected members to arrive at budget decisions in the full knowledge of how these

Page 4: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

decisions impact at service level. Financial information and data should also be related to outcomes and priorities.

Staff Engagement 1.7 The people who work in Development and Housing Services are responsible

for successfully delivering the aims and ambitions of the service; therefore it is essential that this Service Improvement Plan reflects their views and experiences.

1.8 Extensive consultation was carried out across three distinct staff groups.

Development and Housing Services have established a Staff Panel comprising employees from all areas of the service and at the Panel’s January 2017 meeting a workshop was facilitated for panel members to identify what they felt were key priorities for the Council, the service and their teams.

1.9 Development and Housing Services’ senior management team (to third tier

level) also participated in a workshop session discussing what impact the service has in Renfrewshire, reflecting on service performance and also looking at detail at last year’s action plan and considering what actions should be taken forward for 2017/18 to 2019/20.

1.10 Finally, a wider staff group attended a half day workshop at Paisley Town

Hall, led by the Director, to consider the current and future challenges for the service, identify service and Council priorities and discuss the difference they felt they, as officers, made in the local community.

2. WHAT WE DO 2.1 Development and Housing Services provides the economic development,

planning, housing and regeneration functions of the Council. This includes helping to deliver sustainable economic and physical regeneration in Renfrewshire, managing the Council’s stock of almost 12,500 houses, providing housing advice and assistance to vulnerable people and leading for the Council on the Glasgow City Region City Deal programme and the UK City of Culture 2021 Bid.

2.2 Development and Housing Services provide services directly to the

Renfrewshire public, to Council housing tenants, to other services within the Council and to community partners. The service contributes to the development of corporate policies and initiatives and the maintenance of effective working relationships with our partners and other organisations to deliver services throughout Renfrewshire. These services are delivered by approximately 440 employees employed on a full-time or part-time basis, with a gross expenditure budget of over £14 million (excluding Housing Revenue Account).

A Better Future: Place 3.2 Priority 1: Driving Physical & Economic Regeneration

City Deal

• Glasgow City Region City Deal aims to deliver an uplift of over £2 billion additional economic activity and 29,000 new jobs over the next 20 years. The three Renfrewshire City Deal projects are the £91 million Clyde Waterfront & Renfrew Riverside (CWRR) Project, the £39 million Glasgow Airport Investment Area (GAIA) Project and the £144 million Airport Access Project (AAP). Significant progress has been made in phase 1 of Renfrewshire’s City Deal Projects. Outline business cases have been approved for all three projects and extensive public consultation has been (and continues to be) carried out. Planning and Housing Services

• Renfrewshire’s Local Development Plan Action Programme sets out an ambitious framework to assist in the successful implementation and delivery of the objectives, strategy and proposals set out within the Local Development Plan (LDP). 51 Actions were set out in the Action Programme, to date 43 out of the 51 actions have been progressed or are complete. Of particular significance, over the last few months there has been great progress on a range of actions to bring forward the Housing Action Programme Sites - these are primarily previously used sites which are within our existing places and communities, however require some assistance to encourage implementation and delivery of housing on the sites.

• Work on the preparation of the new Renfrewshire Local Development Plan is also progressing well, following an extensive consultation and engagement programme.

• The finalised Renfrewshire Local Housing Strategy (LHS) for 2016 – 2021 was developed and approved in 2016. The LHS sets out the strategic vision for housing and housing related services in Renfrewshire and provides a clear direction for future strategic housing investment.

Page 8: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

• The Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) 2017/18 to 2021/22 was also approved in late 2016. The SHIP sets out a programme showing how grant funding will be utilised over the next five years and how the supply target for affordable housing will be met.

• Following extensive consultation and engagement of the draft Renfrewshire Centre Strategies and Action Plans throughout 2016, the finalised strategies and action plans for Renfrewshire’s Centres were presented to and approved by board in late 2016 and early 2017. These strategies and action plans will be updated every two years to allow for regular review and monitoring of their performance and delivery.

• Regeneration programmes continue across Renfrewshire - rehousing and demolition in Johnstone Castle is progressing on target; a Masterplan for Paisley West End has been drawn up and approved by Council, with consultation planned for the summer; development of proposals in Bishopton continues, with planning and building warrant submissions expected in summer; and in Ferguslie Park consultation has taken place in 2016 with further consultation planned for 2017 alongside detailed proposals which are currently being developed.

• The Renfrewshire Outdoor Access Strategy and associated Action Plan was approved by the Planning and Property Policy Board on 23rd August 2016. Work is ongoing with a range of partners to start to deliver and implement the actions set out in the Access Strategy. Regeneration

• Paisley Town Centre Vision and Action Plan has now been approved following a series of workshops held in Spring 2016. The 10 year ambitious plan sets out a number of short, medium and longer term priorities for 5 different activity areas viewed as crucial to the future success of the town centre.

• The completion of the Paisley THI/CARS project in June 2016, successfully delivering building repairs in Causeyside Street and Paisley Arts Centre, public realm improvements, a shop front restoration programme and bringing historic floor space back into use in Forbes Place. The project exceeded expectations and delivered over £3.5m of improvements in the area. Economic Development

• Following the successful first round programme, a second InCube programme for local start up and early stage businesses commenced in June 2016 and a further intake occurred in January 2017. This flagship business incubator model continues to support early stage creative businesses in the area and links closely to the Paisley 2021 bid and our ambition to develop Renfrewshire’s creative industries.

• The InCube shop was fully operational from June 2016 and is now well established. It provides a boutique shop with the opportunity for test-trading

Page 9: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

for creative businesses and is also a retail academy offering unemployed people the opportunity for work experience and qualifications for work in retail.

• Renfrewshire Council is leading the delivery of the LEADER 2014 - 2020 programme for the rural areas with in Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, acting on behalf of the Local Action Group (LAG). The first approvals for the LEADER programme were in October and November 2016.

• Developing a new approach and establishing a new team to deliver Community Economic Development services to Renfrewshire communities, empowering groups to access enhanced funding and development opportunities.

3.3 Priority 2: Culture and Heritage

• After many months of learning, researching, consultation and engagement a Stage 1 Bid for Paisley to host UK City of Culture 2021 was submitted to the UK Government before the deadline of 28 April 2017. The month of May will see the Department of Culture, Media and Sports conduct the assessment process with a decision on shortlisted places by the end of June. Subject to be shortlisted a final bid will be required by the end of September 2017.

3.4 Priority 4: Creating a Sustainable Renfrewshire

• The Housing Capital Investment Plan 2017/18 to 2019/20 was approved by the Council in February 2017, setting out our approach to lifecycle replacement of key components to ensure Council housing stock is maintained at the required Scottish Housing Quality Standard.

• Over the last 4 years a total of £10.235m in grant funding has been secured through the Home Energy Efficiency Programme which has enabled a range of external wall insulation projects to be carried out in multi tenure blocks cross Renfrewshire.

A Better Future: People 3.5 Priority 5: Reducing the Level and Impact of Poverty

• Development and Housing Services continue to build and develop knowledge of our tenant’s circumstances and improve/refine processes and links with specialist money advice, energy management, employability services and the Department of Work and Pensions, in the interests of supporting our tenants to help mitigate the impact on low income households during ongoing Welfare Reform.

• Development and Housing Services played a key role in the successful resettlement and ongoing support to Syrian refugees in Renfrewshire was led by Development and Housing Services. This work now moves into a new phase, with Development and Housing Services creating a new post of Refugee Resettlement Co-ordinator to help support families to move into long term tenancies and access employability support and advice, continuing their successful integration into the wider Renfrewshire community.

Page 10: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

• A full review of homeless prevention activities was carried out to ensure Renfrewshire’s most vulnerable people continue to get the best advice and assistance, preventing people with a housing crisis from becoming homeless and to reduce the incidence of repeat homelessness. This has included a new ‘Tenancy Sustainment Assistance’ initiative by the George Street team, a ‘Keys to Learn’ training programme delivered by the Glasgow Homelessness Network and an expansion of the Housing First project in partnership with Turning Point Scotland using new funding from the Big Lottery Fund.

3.6 Priority 7: Supporting & Sustaining People into Employment

• Over 1,200 new and additional jobs/traineeships and internships have been created through Development and Housing’s Employability programmes moving Renfrewshire from 27th place in Scotland for Youth Employment to 4th in 2015 and currently 8th.

• Invest in Renfrewshire Employability Programmes support around 2,000 people each year getting employability support with around 40% of these moving directly into work. Key deliverables as part of this include Tackling Poverty funds for Childcare and Access to Work were completed; Renfrewshire Council traineeships increased and new programmes are now being procured; delivery of Employability Fund and Modern Apprentice programme contracts commenced and the new Renfrewshire Recruitment Initiative was launched; the 3rd Annual ‘Celebrating Success’ Awards ceremony and the Annual Invest in Renfrewshire partnership conference were held with 500 people attending these events; the official launch of second intake of Project SEARCH took place in August 2016; and August also saw the Official launch of retail academy at InCube shop.

• Renfrewshire Council acts as lead for the Youth Gateway programme across the 8 local authorities with the City Region. The programme is currently running ahead of target, and given its success the focus is now turning to developing a joined up City Region employability service to commence in 2019.

A Better Council 3.7 Priority 10: Continuing to be a Well-Run Council

• Renfrewshire Council submitted its third Annual Return on the Charter (ARC) to the Scottish Housing Regulator in May 2016. A report was presented to the board in August 2016 outlining performance against the Charter indicators, highlighting both improved performance and also areas which require further improvement. A six monthly update report, outlining performance in the first half of 2016/17 was also presented to the board in November 2016. In October 2016 we produced our Tenant Report on the Charter following consultation with tenant representatives. Following the Scottish Housing Regulator’s 2017 Risk Assessment, published in May 2017, Renfrewshire Council is 1 of 12 local authorities where no scrutiny activity is required from the Regulator.

Page 11: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

• The fifth Renfrewshire Planning Performance Framework (PPF) was submitted to the Scottish Government in July 2016. The PPF requires the Council to demonstrate continuous improvement and provide an explanation in support of our performance. The PPF highlights that in relation to the speed of decision making in planning, Renfrewshire Council is performing well in terms of the Scottish average.

• Learning from the experience of the Hillington Simplified Planning Zone (SPZ), Development and Housing Services prepared and implemented the first pilot town centre SPZ in Renfrew town centre.

3.8 Development and Housing Services leads on many of the Council’s priority projects, as has been outlined in much of the above, but the Service also delivers crucial ‘business as usual’ activities which have a significant impact on the people of Renfrewshire:

• Housing Services manage approximately 12,500 houses in Renfrewshire, making the Council the largest landlord in the area and responsible for the estate management of large parts of Renfrewshire’s towns and villages; ensuring tenants are supported and manage their rent accounts, empty properties are quickly re-let and neighbourhoods are well managed and desirable places to live.

• This work links with extensive capital investment programmes, ensuring housing is of a high standard and our housing stock is maintained effectively for the future. There are also a number of energy efficiency projects which significantly benefit Renfrewshire Council tenants, proactively tackling fuel poverty and ensuring tenants live in warm, dry, fuel efficient homes.

• For Renfrewshire residents who find themselves in need of complex housing advice or at a crisis in their lives, specialist teams continue to offer advice and assistance to tackle homelessness and assist those at risk of becoming homeless. Teams working from Abercorn Street and George Street provide a vital lifeline to some of Renfrewshire’s most vulnerable people.

• The Council owns and manages 10 sheltered housing complexes throughout Renfrewshire, where over 300 older tenants are provided with support 7 days a week from a team of Sheltered Housing Officers.

• Development Management and Building Standards provide the regulatory controls through consenting and enforcement which ensure that amenity and public safety is protected and communities are engaged throughout the development and planning processes. The work in this area underpins many of the Council’s high profile projects; ensuring planning procedure is adhered to effectively and efficiently and ultimately helping attract millions of pounds worth of investment to Renfrewshire through the delivery of key housing, business and infrastructure developments.

4. STRATEGIC CONTEXT 4.1 Development and Housing Services works directly with a number of different

customer groups delivering frontline services, but also provides strategic

Page 12: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

planning for the whole area. Significant research underpins the Local Housing Strategy including the regional Housing Need and Demand Assessment, ensuring we have a thorough understanding of our local context and are effectively planning for the current and future needs of Renfrewshire residents.

4.2 Tenants’ data is regularly analysed to help us plan our current and future

service provision, particularly from an equalities perspective, as is the data we collate through our housing advice and homeless services. Our economic development team also collates and reports local economic indicators and employment rates to understand local needs and target services most efficiently.

4.3 Along with other service areas of Renfrewshire Council, Development and

Housing Services recognises that our customer groups are changing. We have an aging population in Scotland and this is reflected in Renfrewshire. This means there is an increased demand for properties suitable for older people and also for aids and adaptations to allow older people to stay in their own homes, living independently for longer. We have also noted an increase in service users with more complex and multiple needs, requiring support across a range of services.

4.4 In common with the rest of Scotland, we are seeing an increase in the number

of households in Renfrewshire, with the trends moving toward more but smaller households, increasing the demand for housing across all tenures in Renfrewshire.

4.5 The current economic climate in the UK means that the Council, in common

with the wider public sector, continues to face a number of financial pressures and challenges in both the medium and long term. As a result, Development and Housing Services will continue to help deliver significant financial efficiency savings over the medium term. In order to identify and deliver efficiencies, Development and Housing Services will continue to review services to help the Council manage this reduction in resources in ways that have the minimum adverse impact on both the communities of Renfrewshire and our ambitions for Renfrewshire.

4.6 It is likely that changes in the political and national policy environment, arising

from the European Union Referendum vote to leave the EU (or ‘Brexit’), will have potential implications for both the Council and Renfrewshire’s communities and businesses. The full impact for Renfrewshire is likely to take several years to become fully apparent. This uncertainty may impact on the Council’s financial outlook. It is also likely that there may be implications Development and Housing Services particularly around future funding for employability services.

4.7 The Better Council Change Programme was established to ensure

Renfrewshire Council could remain financially sustainable, whilst delivering its strategic objectives. Development and Housing Services has supported the strategic development and delivery of the transformation programme and will

Page 13: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

continue to deliver on the service changes it leads on as part of phases 1 and 2. In addition, the service will be actively involved in developing and delivering the next phase of the Council’s future change programme which it is anticipated will require significant cross cutting transformational change.

4.8 The Council’s Risk Matters - risk management policy and strategy sets

outs a new approach from 1 April 2017. As our risk management arrangements are well embedded, the Corporate Risk Register has two distinct risk strands; a Strategic Risk Register will contain details of the externally focused risks, and a Corporate Risk Register will contain details of the internally focused risks. Both of these top level risk registers are underpinned by service specific risk registers. During the development of this years’ Service Improvement Plan the service has ensured that any corporate or strategic risks that Development and Housing Services is responsible for, and the actions to mitigate and monitor these risks, are included in the action plan.

5. KEY PRIORITIES 5.1 Building on this track record of success, Development and Housing Services

has an exciting and ambitious programme of priorities to deliver over the years 2017/18:

• We create great places for people to live, work and invest in

• We will develop a successful bid for Paisley to become UK City of Culture 2021

• We help to drive economic regeneration in Renfrewshire, supporting local businesses to grow and local people to move into employment

• We protect our heritage and deliver physical regeneration in our town centres and within particular regeneration areas

• With our customers and our workforce at the heart of our service planning, we look for ways to continuously improve our services across Development and Housing

5.2 Key strategic actions are outlined in the action plan in section 8, show

the activities which Development and Housing Services will carry out over the next three years to deliver on these strategic priorities. These will also link to the Council and Community Plan priorities and be monitored and reported to board on a 6 monthly basis.

Page 14: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

6. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Self-Evaluation Activities 6.1 Renfrewshire Council has a mature and well-developed approach to self-

evaluation which has been in place corporately since 2008 and has been based on the Public Services Improvement Framework (PSIF). In addition, the Council also gathers intelligence as part of its self-evaluation activities through the Public Services Panel, customer experience work, and complaints handling data.

6.2 All areas of Development and Housing Services have been involved in the

PSIF process; engaging with employees, identifying strengths and areas for improvement and producing action plans to drive service improvement.

6.3 More recently, Development and Housing Services’ Staff Panel worked to

identify improvement areas across the whole Service, forming an improvement plan. Actions were allocated to the senior management team and progress is monitored at the quarterly Staff Panel meetings.

6.4 For Renfrewshire Council’s corporate assessment, in the summer of 2016, a

new approach for self-evaluation was piloted with the Corporate Management Team (CMT) and Heads of Service. Development and Housing Services will support the development of this new Council wide approach to self-evaluation during 2017/18.

Community engagement 6.5 Development and Housing Services engages extensively with communities

through a variety of groups and forums and has a strong track record of tenant participation across Renfrewshire. We have a number of different engagement opportunities to ensure our customers, particularly our tenants, are at the heart of service design and improvement including:

• Quality circles – tenant-led inspections currently in high rise flats and sheltered housing to identify areas for improvement.

• Scrutiny panel – detailed investigation into more complex issues, such as void letting standard, customer experience and currently working on tenancy sustainment. The panel examines these issues at a series of monthly meetings and then prepares and presents a report with recommendations to the Senior Management Team and conveners. The Tenant’s Scrutiny Panel is recognised as good practice; Renfrewshire Council was an early adopter of this approach.

• An annual rent consultation is carried out and is open to all tenants to give their views. We have used different methods of engaging with tenants including through our tenants newsletter and telephone consultations.

Page 15: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

• There are 9 Neighbourhood Forums comprising representatives from Registered Tenants Organisation across Renfrewshire who meet regularly to discuss local housing issues and performance and to direct a small budget on estate management projects.

• Council wide forum – annual meeting to bring together Tenants and Residents Associations to discuss relevant housing and community issues.

6.6 As well as our ongoing support to tenants and residents group and the opportunities outlined above, we have an extensive programme of additional consultations to gather feedback from current and potential service users to determine future direction, service improvement activities and engagement on specific pieces of work such as the Local Development Plan, City Deal plans and Paisley 2021 Bid.

6.7 Significant work is also undertaken to seek community input at an early stage

on specific projects and the development of plans where these relate to particular communities, such as our Housing Regeneration Strategies. Extensive consultation has taken place over the past two years in Ferguslie Park and similar engagement is planned around the regeneration of Paisley’s West End. Consultation work is also carried out with a wide variety of stakeholders including partners and businesses in the development of high level strategies such as the Local Housing Strategy and the Paisley Town Centre Action Plan.

Workforce Planning 6.8 The Council's Organisational Development Strategy will ensure that the

Council can continue to deliver its core business and service objectives, with an engaged and motivated workforce during an anticipated climate of continued financial and resource constraints. Development and Housing Services’ has developed a workforce plan which provides analysis of the key workforce considerations for the service during 2017/18. The key aim of the plan is to ensure our employees are deployed to the right place with the right skills at the right time. The workforce plan is closely linked to the Service Improvement Plan, and is cognisant of the strategic context and related challenges and opportunities which arise from the environment in which the service continues to operate.

6.9 The workforce plan is action orientated and outlines a number of key actions

which will be targeted during 2017/18 including:

• developing a mix of capability and experience throughout the workforce, identifying business critical capabilities gaps and working towards improving the skill mix within these areas

• establishing succession plans for the recruitment, retention and development of key posts of Development and Housing Services

Page 16: Development and Housing Services Service Improvement Plan … · 2017-06-23 · 1.1 This Service Improvement Plan for Development and Housing Services covers the period from 2017/18

• improving opportunities for development and movement of employees across service areas where appropriate

• improving what we know about the workforce and aligning the workforce profile to develop the required skills in the service to improve resilience to changing priorities, demands or budgetary pressures.

Equalities 6.10 Every area of work within the council has a role to play in promoting equality

and diversity. While this is the right thing to do and has clear advantages for the Council, there are also legal requirements. Equality law (The Equality Act 2010) protects people from unfair treatment and asks public bodies (including Renfrewshire Council) to show how they make a positive difference to equality groups.

6.11 The Council recognises that equality needs to be both mainstreamed fully into

policies and procedures and also ensure that equality outcomes are given high priority, by being part of mainstream progress reporting. The Council has agreed that this will be done through Service Improvement Plans. This will allow progress to be monitored on a quarterly basis through Senior Leadership Teams and the CMT.

6.12 The Council is also committed to reporting progress to local equalities led

community groups. It is recognised that circumstances for individuals and organisations can change over time and by establishing a clear reporting structure, the Council can demonstrate that equality actions and priorities are contributing to overall outcomes and can be reviewed and amended accordingly.

6.13 Development and Housing Services will actively promote equality and

diversity mainstreaming through the work of the main service areas, through this Service Improvement Plan and through the relevant operational plans.

6.14 Renfrewshire's Local Housing Strategy (LHS) recommends that the needs of

Gypsy/Traveller and Showpeople should be considered through the review of the next Local Development Plan (LDP). The LDP's Main Issues Report outlines options for Gypsy/Traveller provision of authorised transient or permanent sites in Renfrewshire and is seeking views on these options. Development and Housing Services has produced a Gypsy/Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Planning Advice Note to provide guidance on development proposals relating to establishing appropriate locations for sites. Work continues with our regional local authority colleagues to identify cross boundary considerations.

6.15 Development and Housing Services' Community Services Team provide

ongoing support and assistance to Gypsy/Travellers and Showpeople in Renfrewshire with visits to encampments to make sure their needs are being met.
