Scrutiny Considerations

The Committee received a report from the Head of Housing Maintenance and Assets and the Asset Manager, Business Transformation.

 

Councillor Cantrill sought clarification regarding a report that had gone to the Civic Affairs Committee and had shown some breaches of Gas Certification. Whilst accepting that the situation had been rectified very quickly, it raised doubts regarding confidence in the process. How had an unlawful situation been allowed to occur?

 

The Head of Housing Maintenance and Assets confirmed that at the point of sign up, the properties had had a valid certificate. Problems had arisen at the annual review point as the properties had not been added to the correct systems. The Head of Housing Mantenance and Assets undertook to circulate the Civic Affairs Committee report to Members of this Committee.

 

The Strategic Director (SH), the Head of Housing Maintenance and Assets, the Asset Manager, Business Transformation and the Assistant Head of Finance and Business Manager said the following in response to Members’ questions:

     i.        The Council was not always in a position to repurchase a shared ownership property. 

    ii.        Retrofitting Solar-power units to existing, tenanted blocks would be a large investment and was not current policy. However, it could be considered in the future as part of a programme of works to bring poor energy rated properties up to standard.

  iii.        Confirmed that costs against Keepmoat for delays in delivering new properties and snagging issues were being pursued.

  iv.        Confirmed that a range of methods were used to gather customer feedback of repairs.

   v.        The Asset Manager, Business Transformation undertook to investigate and confirm that similar feedback was gathered from leaseholders when rechargeable repairs were undertaken.

  vi.        Confirmed that approximately of 82 of the initial 500 new council properties would be fitted with individual gas boilers. The remainder would use alternative heat sources.

 vii.        Confirmed that the Audit Report received by the Civic Affairs Committee had not highlighted any critical faults. A service review would build in additional safeguards regarding fire safety for the future.

 

Councillor Porrer proposed and Councillor Cantrill seconded the following amendment (Text in italic to be inserted at the end of Section One of the report):

 

The committee notes the internal audit report on gas and electricity safety compliance that was presented to the July Civic Affairs committee.  The committee expresses its concern at the findings of the report, in these key areas of building safety.

 

To prioritise safely works across the housing estate, completing these works as a matter of urgency, in particular:

Confirmation of electrical testing certificates across all properties

Confirmation of gas safety certificates across all properties

Fire door inspections and replacements

Installation of heat detectors

Installation of emergency lighting in those blocks currently without this

 

The committee asks officers to provide a written update on a monthly basis to the Chair and Spokes.

 

Council Cantrill stated that the amendment would change priorities rather than requiring additional funding.

 

Councillor Todd-Jones proposed and Councillor Smart seconded an amendment to Councillor Porrer’s amendment as follows (struck through wording removed and text in bold added):

 

The committee notes the internal audit report on gas and electricity safety compliance that was presented to the July Civic Affairs committee.  The committee expresses its concern at the findings of the report, in these key areas of building safety further notes that Officers are already proactively dealing with these issues and previously reported to it when the Council discovered that some electrical safety information was missing, requested additional funds to ensure it could rectify the situation.

Work on fire safety has been given increased priority, hence the programme to install more heat detectors, and this work is reflected in the Corporate Fire Safety Strategy report to Strategy and Resource Committee in October.

 

As part of the Estate and Facilities Service Review, Officers are also looking at strengthening other areas of Tenant and Leaseholders’ safety. To that end recommendations will be brought forward from the Review to ensure the service overall is more effective in achieving compliance with safety regulations and best practice.

 

In addition, the new housing IT system is expected to go live in the 2020/2021 financial year, which will assist with improving service delivery and facilitate easier reporting on key areas.

 

Updates on progress can be provided to Opposition Spokes and the Chair(s) of the committee.

Matter for Decision:	Whether to provide funding for a temporary barrier, and associated installation and signage works, to close King’s Parade   during an experimental period. £35,000 will be allocated from reserves, and the remaining 50% of the funding will be met by the Greater Cambridge Partnership
Why the decision had to be made (and any alternative options):	See details detailed in Cambridge Joint Area Committee report 5 March 2019 paragraphs 2.1 – 2.8 https://cambridgeshire.cmis.uk.com/ccc_live/Meetings/tabid/70/ctl/ViewMeetingPublic/mid/397/Meeting/819/Committee/11/Default.aspx As specified under Part 4C 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 of the Councils Constitution, It was not deemed practical to convene a quorate meeting of Council to take these decisions.
The Executive Councillor’s decision(s):	To provide funding for a temporary barrier, and associated installation and signage works, to close King’s Parade during an experimental period. £35,000 will be allocated from reserves, and the remaining 50% of the funding will be met by the Greater Cambridge Partnership. Funding is on the understanding that the 10 disabled parking spaces which will be lost have been accepted by the county council officers for relocation on Trumpington St though there is no absolute certainty that they will be possible to provide in the locations outlined in the report.
Reasons for the decision:	As stated in Part 4C section 6.1 of the Councils Constitution, individual members of the Executive ‘may take a decision which is contrary or not wholly in accordance with the budget approved by the full Council if the decision is a matter of urgency’. It was deemed not practical to convene a quorate meeting of Council to take these decisions.
Scrutiny consideration:	The Chair and Spokesperson of Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Committee were consulted prior to the action being authorised.   The Chair of the Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Committee agreed the decision was a matter of urgency as required under paragraph 6, Part 4C Budget and Policy Framework Procedure Rule
Report:	A Member consultation briefing paper and report detailing the background and financial considerations is attached.
Conflicts of interest:	None
Comments:	This decision will be reported back to the Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Committee on the 07 October 2019.

 

Matter for Decision:	To agree the Local Transport Plan Consultation Response.
Why the decision had to be made (and any alternative options):	In July 2019, at a meeting of the Planning and Transport Scrutiny Committee, it was recommend by the Committee and approved by the Executive Councillor for Transport and Community Safety to agree the wording of a final joint response and/or any individual response through an out of cycle decision, in consultation with Chair and Spokes.
The Executive Councillor’s decision(s):	That the Executive Councillor for Transport and Community Safety Agreed a.   The Local Transport Plan Consultation joint response with South Cambridgeshire District Council.
Reasons for the decision:	The Devolution Deal of 2017 gave the Combined Authority (CPCA) the role of the Local Transport Authority from Cambridgeshire County Council. One of the key responsibilities of the Local Transport Authority is the development of a new Local Transport Plan (LTP), to set out plans and strategies for maintaining and improving all aspects of the local transport system.   The draft Local Transport Plan sets out the vision, goals and objectives (which will define the strategic approach up to 2050) and the policies designed to deliver the objectives. It also identifies a programme of transport schemes to deliver the plans objectives.   In summary, as a direction of travel the plan offers very positive outcomes, and provides a solid basis to build on. However, future reviews will need to build on these policies with innovative transport schemes which push boundaries to deliver sustainable transport solutions if the objectives are to be fully achieved. The Draft LTP continues to provide a framework for the transport schemes listed include the Greater Cambridge Partnership transport programme. The inclusion of these schemes is supported as they are important to assist delivery of the current development strategy, and the growth identified in currently Local Plans, including delivery of growth sites on the fringes of Cambridge and at new settlements.
Scrutiny consideration:	The Chair and Spokesperson of Planning and Transport Scrutiny Committee were consulted prior to the action being authorised.
Report:	The Local Transport Plan Consultation Response is attached.   The Local Transport Plan Consultation Report to the Planning and Transport Committee on 16 July is attached.
Conflicts of interest:	None known.
Comments:	No adverse comments were made by the Chair and Spokes within the five day consultation window.

 

CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL

Record of Executive Decision

 

 

Decision of:	Councillor Robertson, Executive Councillor for Finance and Resources
Reference:	19/URGENCY/SR/6
Date of decision:	17 July 2019	Recorded on:  17 July 2019
Decision Type:	Key Decision
Matter for Decision:	Consider the acquisition of long leasehold interest in Units 1-10, Nuffield Close, Nuffield Road Industrial Estate, Cambridge, CB4 1SS

The Executive Councillor’s decision(s):	Approve the purchase of Units 1-10 Nuffield Close, Cambridge, for £5.0m plus acquisition costs.
Reasons for the decision:	As detailed in the Officers report.
Scrutiny consideration:	The Chair and Spokesperson of Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Committee were consulted prior to the action being authorised.
Report:	A briefing note was submitted to the Executive Councillor (Chair and spokes) and will be reported t the Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Committee on 7 October 2019.
Conflicts of interest:	None
Comments:	The decision will be reported back to the Strategy and Resources Scrutiny Committee on 7 October 2019.

 

Matter for Decision:	1.    To agree for the Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Housing Land Supply – Main Document and Annex to be published on the Council’s website and subject to public consultation for 4 weeks from 16 September to 14 October 2019. The Greater Cambridge housing trajectory and five year housing land supply calculations have been prepared jointly with South Cambridgeshire District Council. 2.    To agree a Statement of Common Ground with South Cambridgeshire District Council on the Housing Delivery Test, that will be published as an Appendix to the Housing Delivery Test Action Plan for South Cambridgeshire.
Why the decision had to be made (and any alternative options):	In January 2019, the Executive Councillor for Planning Policy and Transport agreed that the Greater Cambridge housing trajectory and five year supply calculations would be agreed by the Executive Member for Planning Policy at Cambridge City Council via a decision outside of a meeting (together with the Cabinet Member for Planning at South Cambridgeshire Council).
The Executive Councillor for Planning Policy and Open Spaces decision(s):	a.    Agreed to the publication of, and consultation on, the Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Housing Land Supply – Main Document and Annex; b.    Agreed the five year housing land supply calculation of 5.3 years for 2019-2024 should be used when making planning decisions from 16 September 2019; and c.    Approved the Statement of Common Ground with South Cambridgeshire District Council on the Housing Delivery Test, that will be published as an Appendix to the Housing Delivery Test Action Plan for South Cambridgeshire.
Reasons for the decision:	The Greater Cambridge housing trajectory is used by the Councils to calculate their five year housing land supply and to demonstrate that anticipated housing delivery will meet or exceed the housing requirements set out in their Local Plans. The two Councils have an established five year housing land supply until 31 October, as a result of the adoption of the Local Plans in autumn 2018. Ahead of 1 November when the Councils five year housing land supply will no longer be established, the Councils have reviewed and updated their housing trajectory and five year housing land supply calculations, which will be used when making decisions from 16 September 2019, and will also be subject to public consultation as required by national planning policy and guidance for Annual Position Statements.   The adopted Local Plan establishes a five year housing land supply until 31 October under national planning policy. A new trajectory is required to establish the five year supply position from that date for the purposes of making planning decisions. In addition, South Cambridgeshire District Council has three planning appeals where the appellants are challenging the Councils’ five year housing land supply and / or the implications of the Housing Delivery Test results. South Cambridgeshire District Council’s statement of case for one of these appeals must be submitted by 17 September 2019, and there are hearings scheduled for autumn 2019. If the Councils’ updated Greater Cambridge housing trajectory and five year housing land supply calculations are not published before the 17 September, South Cambridgeshire District Council would need to submit its statement of case based on the previously published housing trajectory and five year supply calculations (from November 2017) which were prepared based on the previous definition of a deliverable site, and the Councils are already aware from the appellants’ statements of case that the assumptions made by the Councils’ previously on the deliverability of sites will be challenged through these appeals. By publishing the updated Greater Cambridge housing trajectory and five year supply calculations on 16 September, the Councils will be able to use the most up-to-date information for these appeals.   As a result of the publication of the Housing Delivery Test results in February 2019, South Cambridgeshire District Council is required to publish a Housing Delivery Test Action Plan. As part of the Action Plan, the Councils have agreed a Statement of Common Ground on the Housing Delivery Test.
Scrutiny consideration:	The Chair and Spokesperson of Planning and Transport Scrutiny Committee were consulted prior to the action being authorised.
Report:	The Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Housing Land Supply – Main Document and Annex are attached.   The Housing Delivery Test Action Plan for South Cambridgeshire, including the Statement of Common Ground, is attached.
Conflicts of interest:	None known.
Comments:	No adverse comments were made by the Chair and Spokes within the five day consultation window.
