View answerSubsequent to the launch of the new housing plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities a circular on an updated Buy and Renew Scheme and the Single Stage Approval Process has issued from my Department to the Local Authorities. Proposals for refurbishment projects for social housing use from AHBs will be dealt with under the circular and will be funded through CAS.
My Department is in the process of preparing a circular to inform the AHB sector of this change and update our guidance. My Department continues to engage with AHBs in respect of these issues. Where an AHB has any queries in respect of prospective projects, they should contact my Department directly for assistance.
