Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill: business and regulatory impact assessment
Business and regulatory impact assessment for the Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Bill.
Costs
Option 1
25. The costs of remediating a building are unknown until the Single Building Assessment is undertaken.
26. The Programme was initially established on a pilot basis with the intention of moving into a wider delivery approach following the completion of the pilot. Currently, the pilot phase of the Programme includes 105 buildings. A Stock Survey is being undertaken to better define the number of buildings within scope and therefore the resourcing implications of the Programme as a whole.
Cladding Remediation Programme Costs
27. The Programme publishes spend data on a quarterly basis. The latest set of data Single Building Assessment programme: spending information - gov.scot (www.gov.scot) shows that the Programme has spent just over £3.6 million to the end of June 2023. These costs apply to the ongoing Programme and do not arise from the Bill.
28. The spend data published online covers 3 financial years 2021 – 2022; 2022 – 2023 and the current financial year 2023 – 2024 and is shown on a regional basis as set out in the table below.
| Local Authority | FY 21-22 | FY 22-23 | FY 23-24 (To end of Q1 FY 23-24) | Cumulative (To end of Q1 FY 23-24) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aberdeen | £17,700.00 | £267,420.56 | £295,898.40 | £581,018.96 |
| Edinburgh | £109,298.00 | £172,259.40 | £34,312.80 | £315,870.20 |
| Dundee | £0 | £87,653.00 | £0 | £87,653.00 |
| Glasgow | £114,282.00 | £1,057,997.55 | £1,503,790.82 | £2,676,070.37 |
| Total | £241,280.00 | £1,585,330.51 | £1,834,002.02 | £3,660,612.53 |
29. When the Cladding Remediation Programme was first established it adopted a grant funding model. While the Programme has moved from a grant model to direct procurement payments are still being made under the grant model. The table below shows payments made through the grant funding model. These payments are part of the £3.6m cumulative spend set out in the table above but are also broken down to show the different types of grant – to pay for the risk assessment of a building; remediation work; assurance of work that has been undertaken or for work to address or mitigate an urgent/immediate risk which might include funding for a Waking Watch[3].
