Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024/25-2028/29 - summary assessment
What is the strategy trying to achieve?
The main purpose of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) 2024/25-2028/29 is to deliver the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The plan details how the Local Housing Strategy investment priorities will be delivered. It informs the allocation of resources from a national to a local authority basis.
The SHIP will contribute to achieving the Council’s aim to deliver 5,000 new homes by 2035.
If this policy is subject to the FSD what does it suggest about the impact or potential impact on socio-economic disadvantage?
It has been assessed that the Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2024/25-2028/29 will have a positive impact on low income, low wealth, material deprivation through increased provision of affordable, high-quality, energy-efficient homes with reduced running costs.
The development of housing will benefit the local economy by providing increasing employment opportunities. The SHIP will increase the provision of housing built to Housing for Varying Needs Standards, wheelchair standard and amenity housing.
Research suggests that disabled people have lower income levels and that the built environment can present significant challenges for disabled people participating in everyday life. The provision of adaptable and accessible housing promotes and enables independence and provides the foundations for which other aspects of life can be achieved.
It will have a positive impact on area deprivation by helping create well-connected and sustainable communities, by bringing empty homes back into council stock and by contributing to the regeneration of town centres through increased residential provision.
Give details of the impact it has on groups and individuals
The SHIP promotes the delivery of affordable, high-quality housing that is suitable for a wide range of needs and so will have a positive impact on different groups of people.
What actions/measures will be put in place or are planned to mitigate any adverse impact or promote equality?
No adverse impact identified.
What is the result/recommendations of the EqIA?
The recommendation is that the SHIP 2024/25-2028/29 be introduced.
