Bid to the Government For
Housing Market Transitional Funding
Alison Thain OBE
Board member of Tees Valley Unlimited
and Chief Executive Fabrick Housing Group
Bid to the Government For Housing Market Transitional Funding
Section 1 - Programme Level Summary and
Forward Strategy
This bid is for £6.1m of grant from a total programme cost of £13.8m (44.5%). It will result in 196
properties being acquired and a total of 536 properties, including some commercial units, cleared.
Section 1 of this bid firstly summarises progress to date then highlights our programme level
priorities and forward strategies. Section 2 contains the detailed forward strategies and proposals
from the four local authorities. A series of Appendices at the rear of the document will contain
for each local authority a map of the area and a letter confirming political support. Because of size
the master and individual schedules will be sent as separate excel worksheets. It is not our
intention to repeat the voluminous evidence base illustrating the depth and extent of the problems
faced in our former HMR areas-these are already widely disseminated and in the possession of DCLG.
Between the commencement of our physical renewal activities in 2006 and the cessation of
the programme in 2011 Tees Valley achieved the following outputs:
Property acquisitions
2,032
Demolitions (including social housing)
2,702
Relocation packages
289
New builds
1,405
Public investment
£143.28m
Private investment
£108.9m
Commercial investment
£56m
Whilst the above figures are, we believe, impressive, much remains to be done. Applying the
strict criteria of this bidding regime over 200 households remain trapped in streets or blocks
with less than 50% occupancy. In the wider former HMR areas the number approaches 350.
Our proposals therefore are, we believe, relatively modest but will allow us to draw a line
under the previous HMR regime and allow us to move forward in seeking new ways to
renew our failing housing markets.
