A270 Wild Park Rainscape

An extra £0.600m was raised for this project last year following a bid to national highways, the remaining amount is sourced from the listed funds left available to this project. It is likely that S106 funds allocated to this project last year were switched instead of being applied in addition, which has led to a variance between the budget listed and funds held. This adjustment is to correct this.

These budgets will be reimbursed later in the year when funding for the Turbocharging Innovation project has been confirmed.

Madeira Terraces Regeneration - Project Support

The repair of the cast iron is a highly technical and specialised area of work and as such there is little flex in the supply chain. The speed of repair dictates the critical path for this heritage project (the shortest possible time from start to finish). To reuse the cast iron, it must not only be repaired but also extensively tested before it can be reused. Additional testing has been required to ensure the cast iron can be safely reused significantly extending the critical path. The new profile reflects this increase in the critical path and the consequential contract prolongation.

House Purchase Scheme

The successful home purchase policy continues to receive a large volume of enquiries as the housing market slows and private landlords exit the market. This is an opportunity to increase housing supply beyond the target of 72 new properties this year, to provide an additional 30 properties beyond our current target and this is reflected in the £10.5m additional budget requested. Reprofiling of existing housing supply budgets to home purchase spending would ensure continued supply is acquired within 25/26.

Structural Repairs

The major capital works projects are subject to review and authorisation of the Building Safety Regulations (BSR). The Building Safety Act requirements continue to impact on delivery timescales to projects as consideration needs to be given to other works, wider than just the capital works, and this is impacting on getting on-site. The service are working on 26/27 programme to bring forward applications to BSR where possible and other low rise blocks in advance of future programmes.

Revised programme of works this financial year largely as a result of procurement timelines for the delivery of timber windows and also in relation to where works were expected to be jointly undertaken with External Decorations programme.  This will be kept under close review and where further works are identified there maybe scope to increase spend to be reported TBM07 or TBM09.
