Business Performance 2006/07

Our output performance measures reflect the aims that were set out in the ODPM’s (now CLG) 'Sustainable Communities Plan, Homes for All' and the government’s Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets. These cover:

brownfield land reclaimed
housing units – starts on site commissioned
housing units – completed
employment floorspace created
private-sector investment attracted.

2006/2007

In May 2006 we published a set of quality standards to be applied to all our projects and these are reported in the table below insofar as they relate to our output achievements over the past two years.

Outputs from all approved projects¹

Output	2005/2006			2006/2007
Output	Lower Target²	Upper Target²	Outturn³	Lower Target²	Upper Target²	Outturn
Brownfield land reclaimed (ha)	230	240	243	270	310	328
Housing units facilitated (starts on site commissioned)	5,040	6,070	7,615	8,490	9,560	9,403
Housing units facilitated (completions)	2,460	2,520	3,222⁴	3,990	4,490	4,248⁵
Employment floorspace created (‘000 sq m)	250	270	419⁶	260	300	326⁷
Private sector investment (£m)	480	500	677 ⁸	870	980	1,022⁹

National Coalfields Programme

The total outputs include those relating to the National Coalfields Programme, delivered through close co-operation with the relevant Regional Development Agencies. In 2006/2007 the outputs delivered on these former colliery sites amounted to:

217 ha of brownfield land reclaimed
274 housing starts on site commissioned
398 housing units completed
77,982 sq m of employment floorspace created
£182m of private sector investment attracted.

The Housing Partnership

In addition, as a result of our collaboration with the Housing Corporation through The Housing Partnership (THP), 166 housing starts on site were commissioned and 520 housing units were completed.

¹The figures in the table reflect English Partnerships’ activity and exclude any outputs which have been attributed to our partners through joint working arrangements.
²Targets were set internally and approved by CLG (formerly ODPM).
³Outputs achieved in previous years are reviewed for validation purposes. This has highlighted increased performance in 2005/2006 from that reported in previous Annual Reports. The figures have been restated above and reflect additional outputs over the two years as follows – brownfield land reclaimed (6 ha), housing starts on site commissioned (764 units), housing completions (118 units), employment floorspace (18,000 sq m) and private sector investment (£38m).
⁴Includes 1,849 units (57 per cent) built in 2005/2006 to EcoHomes ‘Very Good’ standards or above.
⁵Includes 1,778 units (42 per cent) built in 2006/2007 to EcoHomes ‘Very Good’ standards or above.
⁶Includes 304,703 sq m (73 per cent) built in 2005/2006 to BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standards or above.
⁷Includes 106,540 sq m (33 per cent) built in 2006/2007 to BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standards or above.
⁸Some 30 per cent of the private sector investment is based on a formula to assess the end value to the developer in 2005/2006.
⁹Some 16 per cent of the private sector investment is based on a formula to assess the end value to the developer in 2006/2007.
