The Head of Service, Housing Investment and
Maintenance introduced the report which explained that the Housing
Capital Programme brought together the 5-year Capital Investment
and Housing Growth proposals for Council Housing, setting out the
priorities for current and future investment.
 
It outlined that the purpose of the plans was to
continue to deliver Decent Homes, tenants’ priorities and
improving the quality of homes and neighbourhoods. The Housing
Capital Programme is split into three distinct areas of activity;
Council Housing Investment (existing stock and assets), the
Council’s Stock Increase Programme, funded from the
Council’s Housing Revenue Account, as described in the annual
HRA Business Plan and the Non-HRA Capital Programme which includes
programme management, Homes & Loans to private homes and
investment in private homes.
 
The table at item 2.1 of the report showed the
overall Housing Capital Programme split between Council Housing
Investment, Stock Increase and Non-HRA areas of the
programme.
 
The purpose of the report was to provide a
quarterly update on progress against the approved 2023/24 Housing
Capital Programme. The report focussed on providing an update on
expenditure and progress against the 2023/24 Housing Capital
Programme position at the end of September 2023 (Quarter
