each individual project and transfers each, of the project programmes into a Master Programme

tenures As such, it cannot be over emphasised how this scale of proposed development,

• requires focused leadership experienced in delivery,


• is undewinned by commerci& rigour at each and every stage, and
• is de iveTd y an ‘ntegrated epproacl to cevelcpnerL pocsvernenr design, construction anc

The magnitude of this undertaking should not be underestimated The drivers for such ambition are to
produce the targeted financial out turns and revenue streams to meet the cost of the new Civic Centre
and leisure facilities, together with the imoortance of the inter-dependency of the schemes in relation to
she orog’amme. des’gn. cost and whilst at all times having regards to Harrow Councils
Dorrowing

The report includes the rationale for the interdependencies across the projects ano financiai assumptions

The final Regeneration Programme Status Report outlines the Councils key objectives and evaluates the
Regeneration Programme’s success to date against the Councils objectives It identifies areas of
improvement, and sets out options for project delivery based on an assessment ol the current market by

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PART ONE
1,1 THE REGENERATION STRATEGY & OBJECTIVES

The Regeneration Strategy was approved for consultation on 14 December 2014 and has been updated
post 2014. The Regeneration Objectives were identified as part of a September 201S Cabinet Report as
follows

a) ui’ding a Beoer Harrow together to, tocay. ard for otu’e oenea:ior.s Add-essirg housing
neec. par.icu ar vo affordaco housing.

c,) A no.; nrt alive for he Counc I to build homes for p-vale rent (in addition to social
rent/affordable housing) There is a programme to develop about 600 new private rented homes
on Counc lard. lo- ma:<e: reflt
a) Renewing civic ane commjn facihties reel ng nf-ast-uctuie needs two new schools, a new

Cer.tra Licrarv. a e. (mo-c eFicieni and sna let: C,v:c Cent-a and potentrally a “ew or
-

improved Leisure Certre comdex


e) Creating quahy pces —bo:n through a focus on qua i’ des an r new developmerl and
through schemes to create new public squares and spaces and to mprove l:ey rinks and routes
(such as Station Road)
F) Getting maximum benefit for the local economy through the creation of new employment

space and measures to develop local apprenticeshps and training schemes and to build local
supply chains

We would make the following observations on the above

• The objectives require greater definition and prioritisation For example, Building a Better Harrow
needs referencing and the objectives identified,
• In any appraisal of delivery options, the options reed to be assessed against clear objectives
including targeted financial returns
• The Councils powers to deliver the Build to Rent programme is secured on the basis that the BtR
is pal of a wider regeneration programme. The Build to Rent options therefore should be
assessed as part of the wider Regeneration Proiects objectives

I he regeneration objectives will need to be entrenched in future procurement strategy and evaluation
criter a, following interral drscussion ‘v th <cy staKeho ders There is a st-ona case for -efresbing tie

regeneration programme.

POETS’ CORNER PHASE 1

Phase 1 consists of 431 build to rent (BtR) in ts together w th. car park ng and commercia space which
seeks to make a new place in the heart of Harrow. The financial target of net initial yie d has been a
benchmark which Harrow have beefl work’ng to for some t me and has been recent y reva dated as an
appropriate financial metric for any BtR de vered Phase 1 s not fu y designed (ctirrent y at RIBA stage 3).
The current programme would eq.iie Harrow COL n( to comm t to construct on before achev ng 8Oi,

rhe current financial modelling has concluded that the proposed scheme as designed will not hit the
target net initial yield of set for the delivery of StR Whilst a decision not proceed with direct delivery
of BrR units in phase 1 would have a number of wider impacts the scheme is currently failing to meet the
Councils targeted financial return.

The Council have three principle options for Poets Corner phase 1,
• Option 1 Carry out a review of the planning application to make sure the proposed planning

application and in particular the design code allows a future JV partner sufficient flexibility to
maximise returns whilst meeting the Council objectives for this important site. At present the
application is a hybrid (outline for entire detailed for phase 1) we believe an outline for the entire
would be more appropriate, post review of planning application and design code, proceed with
planning application in order to ‘bank’ the GLA agreed affordable element quota
• Option 2 Proceed as planned accepting hsk and lower projected net initial yield.

Option 3 Do not proceed until IV partner is selected If option one is selected, consider making BtR

(subject to viability) part of phase 2 once a IV partner has enabled the phase 1 site and set the tone.
1 his will, improve the overall cash flow and ease internal resourcing issues.

GREENHILL WAY

Overview

Greenhill Way is a Council owned and ‘un car park that provides 274 surface car parkng spaces
immediately behind Debenhams. The site has considerable potential for use as a mixed use scheme
however there s no c ear development brief for the site The most viable uses are residential: hotel,
student accommodation with limited ground floor parking and small retail units to the street frontages.

Main issues

relates to a scheme that has not been designed and properly


costed and therefore there is little certainty that an acceptable scheme is capable of
delivering this capital value
of clarity over Councils preferred uses

• Requirement to re-provide most of 274 surface car spaces adversely impacts on the vab ly
of any development
•Caprtal receipt could be

view that these are not in a consistent format and do not make clear the interaction between the various
decision making functions within the Council

It is therefose, recommended that the Terms of Reference for the various meetings and boards within the
new Counc i Governance s:wcture be reviewed to ersure that there ‘s su”ic.ent cortsr’Jerat on betweer
each of the gouos to provide piotection for the Council and ‘ts officers and members

As previously noted, the Councils current governance structure is currently being developed and
therefore it is recommended that there be a consistent approach across Directorate reporting to
Building a Better Harrow Board and sub Project Teams/Boards need to be set up with again a consistent

In February 2018 the Counck approved a revised captal budget foi the Regeneration Programme of
L295m gross expenditure reduced to £207m net expenditure after the application ol capit& receipts
generated. the budget covered the 8 year period 2015/16 to 2022/23 therefore cDvered activity already
undertaken and future estimated expenditure

Since Febuary the Council has undelaken a comprehensive exercise, led by to review and
update the assumptions included in the existrng programme Areas covered included areas, costs,
revenues (including capital receipts) and timings and the review covered each individual project in the
overall programme except Gayton Road and Roxeth Library

On the Capital Receipts side, in i:ebruary any accounting profit on a project sale was treated as a revenue
