Anfield's Dereliction -  Echo - 11 October 2011

Rockfield Project

Disposal of City Council Properties

Picture
Introduction

This report sets out how it is proposed that the Rockfield area within the Anfield Breckfield Renewal Area can be improved, bringing vacant RSL and Council owned properties back into use and encouraging other private owners in the area to invest in their properties by working with a private company, the Affordable Housing Development Company (AHDC). The scheme will provide a more sustainable mix of housing tenures, in particular an increase in the proportion of privately owned properties, in an area which has historically displayed a high proportion of social stock.

The scheme will capitalise on the area’s proximity to Stanley Park and the proposed Liverpool Football Club development. The Executive Board approved the contents of the Anfield/Breckfield Neighbourhood Renewal Assessment (NRA) in February 2005, which recommended that the future course of action for the Rockfield Area should be subject to further detailed review and consultation with the Rockfield Community. This report is produced as a result of that resolution and follows further consultation.


Background

The Rockfield regeneration project area in Anfield comprises 243 terraced houses built in approximately 1900. The properties range from 2 to 3 storeys in height and comprise larger than average terraces for the area. The area is situated immediately to the north of the Liverpool Football Club (LFC) Stadium. The area lies within the Anfield Breckfield Renewal Area, and within the Stanley Park Housing Market Renewal Zone of Opportunity.

In 1999, LFC’s proposed stadium expansion plans acted as a catalyst for a proposal to demolish properties in the Rockfield area. The strength of local feeling against this proposal led to the Council making a commitment to the local community that any future strategy would be led by the local community. From this commitment emerged the Anfield and Breckfield Community Steering Group (ABCSG) as the vehicle for future community led area regeneration. In 2002 the ABCSG embarked on a major process of community consultation which culminated in the production of the community’s Anfield/Breckfield Regeneration Proposal Plan, which was approved by the Council in 2003. This identified the Rockfield area as requiring improvements to the housing and environment. This is now the ‘blue print’ for the community’s acceptance of alternative housing options, environmental and public realm improvement works including a consensus around the need for significant housing redevelopment.

In June 2003 a Neighbourhood Renewal Assessment (NRA) was commissioned for the Anfield/Breckfield area and primarily sought to re-examine the housing proposals through professional scrutiny, and to confirm their continued applicability and recommend changes as necessary. The NRA built on the work already undertaken with the community and went further to include a property condition survey, a socio-economic survey of residents and consideration of private and public sector redevelopment options. The resultant report recommended the declaration of a Renewal Area, and this was endorsed by the Council on 4th February 2005 and the Anfield Breckfield Renewal Area declared.

The NRA findings indicated that properties in the Rockfield area were suffering from acute condition issues, whilst also highlighting the community aspiration for properties to be retained.

85 properties within the project area are owned by Arena Housing Association Ltd (the lead RSL for the area), and 13 are owned by the Council. Of the 13 properties in Council ownership, 12 are void properties that were acquired in March 2003 using English Partnerships funding, and one property is tenanted. The tenanted property (13 Alroy Road) is included in the Council’s proposed stock transfer to Liverpool Mutual Homes. 142 properties are in private ownership. Approximately 48 vacant RSL and 12 vacant Council properties will transfer from public into private ownership as a result of the initiative.


The 12 Council owned properties are:

8, 18 Tancred Road;
2, 4, 15, 56, 96 Rockfield Road;
124 Anfield Road;
7, 9 Coningsby Road;
18 Alroy Road; and
18 Lothair Road.

Developing the Scheme

In November 2005 Arena and the Council jointly advertised the regeneration opportunity in respect of the Rockfield area for a predominantly refurbishment led scheme. The opportunity was advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union, in accordance with procurement requirements. However, only two proposals were received, and these were from Keepmoat and the Affordable Housing Development Company (AHDC). The proposal from Keepmoat included a substantial amount of demolition and new build for the area and relied on the Council acquiring a number of private properties, with a related financial requirement from the Council.

The proposal from AHDC was for a scheme comprising entirely of refurbishment, and proposed that AHDC refurbished the properties owned by Arena and the Council, and subsequently sell them for private ownership. The proposal required the Council and Arena to dispose of their properties at a nominal value to AHDC in order for the scheme to be financially viable, with any surplus of final sale values over cost being split between the relevant parties.


AHDC were formally selected as the preferred developer partner to work up a scheme with Arena and the Council in February 2006 by a panel comprising of representatives from the Council, including the Executive Member for Housing & Neighbourhoods, Arena and the Rockfield Residents Committee. Arena has taken a lead role in the development of the scheme as they are the predominant property owner in the area, and since the selection they have proceeded to work up details with AHDC to prepare for implementation of the scheme.
