CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

4 5IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2006 - 2009

Liverpool City Council (the Council) is committed to improving the areas where its residents live and in response has embarked onamajorprogrammeofhousingmarketrestructuring through Housing Market Renewal (HMR) 3.Inparalleltothis,theCouncil has also undertaken the largest Neighbourhood Renewal programme in the country,coveringapproximately17,000propertiesacrosssixneighbourhoods,namelyAnfield/Breckfield,Garston,Kensington,LodgeLane,PictonandPrincesPark.

This document seeks to set out the strategic contexttotheCouncil’sHousingStrategy,providebackgroundinformationontheNeighbourhood Renewal Assessments (NRA) undertaken,giveasummaryoftheintendedapproach to delivering renewal and outline an indicative3-yearprogrammeofinterventionand investment.

It is important to note that this global programme will underpinned by detailed consultationwithresidents,carriedoutbytheNeighbourhoodTeams,inordertoexploreinvestment decisions at a local level and determinethemostappropriatetype,scaleandlocationofintervention.

2.2.1TheNorthernWay

In February 2004 the Deputy Prime Minister published an update on the Sustainable Communities Plan entitled ‘Making it Happen: the Northern Way’.

In 2005 a Liverpool City Region Development Plan (CRDP) was submitted to the North WestDevelopmentAgency(NWDA)toinformthe Northern Way initiative over the next 25 years. This builds upon the report ‘The Liverpool City Region Contributing to the Northern Way’ published in early 2005. The CRDPsetsouttheassets,opportunitiesandpriorityactionsforsustainableeconomicgrowthforthecityregion.

2.2.2RegionalEconomic Strategy

TheRegionalEconomicStrategyfortheNorthWest(2003)identifiedthetwocorecitiesofLiverpoolandManchesterastheregion’s major economic drivers. Promoting theregenerationoftheseareasisidentifiedas a major opportunity.

A Merseyside Economic Strategy and Action Plan (MESAP) was produced in 2005whichinformedthenewRegionalEconomic Strategy. The MESAP is a 10 year strategy with a three year action plan which setsaclearsetofeconomicdevelopmentpriorities and actions with a regular progress monitoring system.

It is the basis on which allocations fromtheRegionalSingleHousingCapitalPotandHousingCorporationAffordableHousingProgramme (AHP) are made.

The North West Regional Housing Board submitted the 2005 Regional Housing Strategy to Government in May 2005. The Merseyside local authorities have submitted a joint Merseyside Response to the North West Regional Housing Strategy 2005.

2.2.3RegionalSpatialStrategy fortheNorthWest

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS)asreplacementsforRegionalPlanningGuidance.

The Regional Spatial Strategy’s key objective istherenewalandrenaissanceofLiverpoolandManchesterSalfordasRegionalPoles.Liverpool City Centre and its surrounding innerareaareidentifiedasinvestmentprioritiesfornewdevelopment.TheRSSsets a clear aim to tackle housing market restructuringinareasworstaffectedbylowdemand and abandonment.

The North West Regional Assembly (NWRA) is currently preparing the new Regional Spatial Strategy to be issued by the Secretary ofStatein2007.TheLiverpoolCityRegionlocal authorities with relevant sub-regional organisations submitted a detailed commonly agreed City Regional Strategy entitled ‘Proposed Liverpool City Region Policy Issues and Proposed Policies’ to the NWRA in April 2005.

This strategy proposes ‘a true polycentric approach which recognises and promotes

theroleofLiverpoolasthecorecityandeconomicdriverforitscityregion’.

The Strategy addresses three key policy areas in which it is considered that there is a strategicpolicydeficitwithinthecurrentRSS.These policy areas are Housing in Sustainable Communities; Economic Development; and the Coast.

The NWRA has been requested to have regardtothefollowingspatialprioritieswhichsupportthoseoftheDraftRegionalHousingStrategy 2005:

a. Theneedtosecurethescaleofhousingdevelopment within NewHeartlands to facilitatemarketrestructuring

b. Therequirementforsignificantinterventionin other low demand housing areas

c. Recognitionoftheregenerationneedsincertainpartsofthecityregionwhich require housing investment and development to secure regeneration objectives

d. The requirement to promote housing choicethroughdiversityofhousingtypeandaffordability

e. Recognisingthatwherenecessary,apolicyofhousingdevelopmentrestraintmayberequiredincertainpartsofthecity region in order to support housing regeneration policies



In October 2003 NewHeartlands submitted to ODPM (now CLG) a strategic prospectus withanoperationalplanforacomprehensiveregeneration programme over 15 years. In February 2004 NewHeartlands was granted £86millionhousingmarketrenewalfundingforatwo-yearprogrammefrom2004to2006.Liverpool’s allocation was £45 million with an additionalfundingof£5millionfromEnglishPartnerships.

In July 2005 NewHeartlands submitted a Scheme Update to ODPM which resulted inhousingmarketrenewalfundingof£97.7millionfortheperiod2006–2008.Liverpool’sallocation was £56.5 million.

CHAPTER 3 GOVERNMENT COMMITMENT


Inordertoidentifytheactionsnecessaryto revive areas in decline the Council has undertakenaseriesofNeighbourhoodRenewalAssessments (NRA’s). NRA’s examine an area in closedetail,studyingtheconditionofpeople’shomes and surroundings. Their purpose is to:

• Ensurethateconomic,socialandenvironmentalfactorsaretakenintoaccountindeterminingthemostsatisfactorycourseofaction

• Ensurethatthelong-termconsequencesofaction are considered and that the strategy is notbaseduponincompleteinformation

• Encouragethedistributionofpublicfundsbased on realistic strategies aimed at those in greatest need and who live in the poorest housing and environmental conditions

• Establishclearpriorities,whichtakeintoaccount the ability to deliver the strategy againstthebackgroundofavailableresources

NRA’sareafundamentalrequirementintheprocessofgrantingRenewalAreastatus.ThisisakeyfeatureofCouncil’sPrivateSectorHousing Renewal Strategy that aims to tackle poor quality private sector housing and meet theDecentHomestarget(PSA7)forvulnerablepeople in the private sector.

Renewal Area status provides the Council with anumberofpowerswhichcanassistthemincarryingouttheproposalsforthearea.

It is important to note that granting Renewal Area status is not associated with access to an additionalfundingstreambutratherservestobring together partners and co-ordinate actions so that an integrated approach to renewal is achieved.
