SERVICES BRIEFINGS (Agenda Item 6) Officers gave an overview of the services areas in the remit of this Committee. Planning and Sustainable Growth The Committee received an overview of the Planning and Sustainable Growth service, covering its core functions of strategic planning, economic growth, development management, building control and enforcement. Strategic planning was described as setting the borough’s long -term vision for growth, including the identification of locations for housing and employment, infrastructure planning, and environmental protection. The principal output from the strategic planning teams was the Local Plan, which set out the vision of how the Borough will grow over the coming years, alongside more detailed aspects such as the Uxbridge Town Centre Vision. Strategic planning also involved gathering evidence, for example, on the effect of hous e building on other public services. This would feed i nto the upcom ing Local Plan review. The service also responded to national, regional and partner consultations and secured developer contributions through Section 106 (S106) agreements and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Members were informed that the econo mic growth function focused on delivering the borough’s growth plan, including town centre regeneration in Hayes and Uxbridge, increasing revenue through Business Rates and Council Tax, and supporting skills, training and local businesses. In terms of development management, approximately 4,000 planning applications were handled annually, with an emphasis on pre -application engagement paid for by applicants to ensure policy -compliant development and to balance the needs of the borough with those of applic ants. It was noted that Hillingdon was one of the busiest but cheapest planning authorities in London. Key challenges included proposed changes to national planning policy reducing the number of applications determined by Planning Committee; increasing pressure on the borough’s Green Belt to accommodate growth; and the potential implications of Heathrow expansion alongside the need to deliver significant housing and infrastructure requirements. The role of Building Control was to ensure that once constru ction had finished, that it had been built in line with building regulations. The Building Enforcement function was there to enforce how things should have been built and constructed. Private Sector Housing The Committee received a n overview of the Private Sector Housing function, including its responsibilities for the inspection and licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). It was noted that approximately 600 properties in the borough f ell under mandatory licensing, with a further estimated 1,00 0 properties expected to be captured under the Council’s additional licensing scheme introduced from 21 May, with applications required by 23 August. The service also investigate d around 300 complaints annually relating to housing conditions a nd disrepair in the private rented sector, alongside new duties arising from the Renters’ Rights Act. Members were further advised of the Council’s role in overseeing high - and medium -rise fire safety programmes, addressing empty homes to maximise housing stock, and su pporting the Ukraine resettlement programme. Housing Needs and Homelessness Service The Housing Needs and Homelessness Service supported households into accommodation and managed a wide range of statutory housing functions including the Homelessness Serv ice; Specialist Homelessness Service; Accommodation Service; Allocation Service; and Housing Strategy & Policy. Members were informed that the service manage d significant demand, receiving approximately 7,000 new cases annually, including around 2,500 fam ily homelessness applications, 4,000 single homelessness cases, 1,300 households leaving Home Office accommodation and 500 applications from survivors of domestic abuse, in addition to an existing caseload of around 1,800 households in tempora ry accommodat ion. The borough was noted to have a high number of rough sleepers, linked in part to Heathrow Airport, with commissioned outreach services in place. The service also procure d and managed accommodation through its Accommodation Service function, securing around 400 private rented sector homes per year and overseeing approximately 1,000 households in nightly paid temporary accommodation, alongside housing for specific cohorts supported by Government resettlement schemes. The service also provided accommodation to families and adults where there was a social care duty to do so. The Committee was advised that the service manage d the statutory function of the Housing Register, with around 3,000 applicants at any one time. There were approximately 600 lettings per year, supported by an acquisitions programme to increase supply. It also deliver ed housing advice, maintain ed statutory strategies and policies, and overs aw significant financial and staffing resources. Anyone in the Borough was entitled to a basic le vel of housing advice, through the statutory housing advice function. Strategies and Policies included the Homelessness Strategy and Rough Sleeping Strategy. When fully staffed, the service had over 100 staff and spent about £5 million on salary; about £6 million on PRS incentives; and about £20 million on temporary accommodation (net). Hillingdon received approximately £7 million in grant funding to contribute to these services. A major modernisation programme was underway, driven by the MTF S programme and the need to reduce the cost and use of temporary accommodation, with workstreams focused on prevention, increasing access to private rented housing, supporting move -on arrangements, controlling costs and expanding social housing supply. The service had undergone a restructure to help deliver the MTFS programme, looking to strengthen the service, increase the number of staff, and increase the number of caseworkers. Officers also wanted to improve the resident experience , reduce the number of complaints and inquiries, and improve operational performance to make the service more efficient. There were two new IT systems under development. One to manage cases and one to manage temporary accommodation. Going forward there would be more work with Children’s Se rvices to develop housing pathways for young people, including those leaving care. Challenges highlighted included increasing demand, reliance on interim staff (currently over 50%), recruitment and retention pressures, the need to improve res ident experience, and the review of commissioned services and IT systems to ensure they remained fit for purpose. Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Members were advised that the HRA was a ring -fenced account, separate from the General Fund, generating approximately £96 -97 million in rental income which was reinvested into services for around 10,000 -13,000 residents and the management of housing assets. The service undert ook a significant volume of activity, delivering approximately 38,000 -40,000 repairs annua lly, with 92% completed within target timescales. Over 99% of 7,6000 emergency repairs were completed on time. The Committee was informed of the service’s key priorities, including making sure homes were safe and secure, achieving a financially sustainable HRA, mainta ining compliance with the Regulator of Social Housing, and improving service quality. Following a recent regulatory inspection, the Council received a C2 grading with a clear ambition to achieve at least a C1 rating. Good progress was being made, and the Regulator had reduced the frequency of meetings with officers from monthly to bi - monthly. Progress ha d also been made in reducing non -decent homes from around 30% to 14%, with a target of 5% by 2028. The service also aimed to improve its visibility and accessibility, and its co-production of services with residents. Members heard that the service ha d undergone restructuring to strengthen frontline delivery, including increasing officer capacity, reducing patch sizes, and introducing tenancy sustainment roles to support residents and prevent homelessness. There was also a strong focus on enhancing resident engagement and co -production, with expanded tenant panels and greater resident involvement in governance and service design. On tenancy engagement, offic ers highlighted a recent resident conference, which was currently the most viewed Council item on YouTube. This conference was resident led and resident delivered. Key areas of ongoing focus include d improving anti -social behaviour services, increasing re sident satisfaction, embedding new operating models, and investing in systems and data to support performance and efficiency. It was also noted that the service was working closely with the Regulator, with reduced oversight reflecting growing confidence in progress made. Capital Programme and Property & Estates Members were advised that the Capital Programme deliver ed major new build s and renovations across the Council’s estate, alongside asset data management, party wall matters, and the provision of design and construction advice. Recent projects included the successful delivery of the Platinum Jubilee Leisure Centre in West Drayton, which had been completed following contractor failure. The Centre had already surpassed its yearly target of 1,000 membe rships. Other recent projects included the development of a satellite SEND provision for Meadow High School in Harefield, and ongoing condition works across schools, including fire safety, roofing and boiler upgrades. The Committee was advised of progress on a range of housing developments, such as the Hayes Regeneration ( including Cherwell Court in the Avondale Estate, and Seabrook Court in Hayes Town Centre) and projects underway in Yiewsley ( Otterfield Road and Falling Lane) and Northwood Hills (Hayden Drive), as well as heritage works at Cranford Park. Forthcoming schemes included Grays Road, Uxbridge and Broadwater Lake ( planning permission recently granted for a replacement for the HOAC facility that was removed due to HS2). Members were informed t hat all projects were delivered with a focus on cost control, value for money, programme management and build quality, recognising the Council’s long-term role as asset owner. In addition, the Property & Estates function was outlined, including responsibi lities for managing leases and licences, commercial rents, acquisitions and purchases of required properties, sales and disposals of surplus properties, and securing funding (i.e. grants) for new developments.

RECOMMENDATION That the Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee notes the contents of the report and appendices. SUPPORTING INFORMATION The planning system is ‘plan -led’ whereby planning applications must be determined in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. A local planning authority’s Local Plan forms the key part of the development plan and sets policies for their area. The National Planning Policy Framework directs tha t each local planning authority should have a Local Plan. The Local Plan will set a vision for development in the borough for the next 15 years and include policies to achieve this. The new Local Plan will replace the existing plan that was adopted in 2012 and 2020. The Local Plan will include:  a spatial strategy,  development management planning policies and  site allocations setting out where new development should take place. The plan will respond to emerging issues and planning reforms, including the need to provide new homes and meet housing targets set by the Mayor of London, a planned approach to the Green Belt which responds to changes in national policy, and a host of other issues including managing the impact of data centres. The Cabinet approved the first stage in plan making on 25 June 2026, the Scoping Consultation. This Scoping Consultation seeks to gather issues and feedback from residents and stakeholders on what the Hillingdon Local Plan ought to contain and sets out how the Council will consult with stakeholders. The Scoping Consultation is underway and ends 21 August 2026. The consultation is being run through Commonplace. The Council will consider the responses made to the Scoping Consultation when preparing the Draft Local Plan. The Council will consult on the Draft Local Plan Content and Evidence in November 2026. A further decision will be taken to Cabinet for consultation on the draft Local Plan, which will include the draft Local Plan and evidence.

Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public WEST LONDON WASTE PLAN Committee name Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee Officer reporting Gavin Polkinghorn, Team Leader Planning Policy Papers with report Appendix 1: Regulation 19 Proposed Submission West London Waste Plan Appendix 2: Cabinet report - West London Waste Plan Proposed Submission Appendix 3: Full Council Report - West London Waste Plan Regulation 19 Ward All HEADLINES This report describes the Proposed Submission of the West London Waste Plan, which was approved by Cabinet for public consultation in line with Regulation 1 9 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended). RECOMMENDATION That the Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee notes the contents of the report and appendices. SUPPORTING INFORMATION It is a statutory requirement for each area to have a ‘waste local plan’ that sets out how and where waste expected to be produced within the area is to be managed. Policies in waste local plans are used by the Local Planning Authority (LPA) alongside policies contained in other development plan documents, to determine applications for planning permission relating to waste management development. The West London Waste Plan (WLWP) is a strategic plan that plans for waste management sites in the west London Boroughs (Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond upon Thames, and the Old Oak & Park Royal Development Corporation). Key elements of the Proposed Submission WLWP include:  the amount of waste to be managed in West London over the plan period (waste arisings),  an updated list of safeguarded waste sites across West London with sufficient waste management capacity to manage expected waste arisings,  evidence for the proposed release of 6 sites from a waste use , none of which sit within Hillingdon’s boundary, and  updated policies against which planning applications for waste-related development will be determined. The WLWP is part of the Council’s development plan and, therefore a policy framework document. The current plan was adopted in 2015 and is considered in many respects to be out-of-date in the context of national and regional planning policy and therefore needs to be replaced. The West Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public London Boroughs with the West London Alliance have commissioned BPP consultants to prepare the new WLWP. Once adopted the Proposed Submission WLWP will replace the 2015 West London Waste Plan taking account of changes in policy and taking the planning horizon forward for another 15 years. The new WLWP is at an advanced stage . The first consultation relating to the updated West London Waste Plan (k nown formally as the ‘Regulation 18 Draft Updated West London Waste Plan’) ran from Thursday 11 December 2025 to Thursday 5 February 2026. The Cabinet on 25 June 2026 and Full Council on 9 July authorised consultation on the Proposed Submission (Regulation 19) West London Waste Plan and submission to the Secretary of State for independent examination by the Planning Inspectorate. Consultation is planned 4 August 2026 to 29 September 2026, with a proposed submission in December. Following examination, the Plan and the inclusion of any subsequent main or minor modifications will be returned to Full Council in 2027 for a decision on formally adopting the WLWP as part of Hillingdon’s Development Plan. Safeguarded sites A total of 21 sites in the London Borough of Hillingdon are proposed to be safeguarded. These sites are listed in the Proposed Submission WLWP (Appendix 2) and maps of the sites are provided in Appendix 3. This is a decrease on the existing number of safeguarded sites in Hillingdon (25). No sites have been allocated for development for new waste uses. Next steps The full timetable is set out in the cabinet report (Appendix 1). The proposed submission version of the WLWP is set for consultation in mid-2026 and examination expected for early to mid-2027. PERFORMANCE DATA N/A. RESIDENT BENEFIT Managing waste is a key part of a well-functioning modern society. If waste is not handled in the right facilities or locations, it can harm both the environment and local communities. The WLWP is the key strategic planning tool to manage waste in the borough. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The costs of the consultation arising from approving the Regulation 19 Consultation are estimated to not exceed £3k and would be funded from the existing Planning Policy Service revenue budget. The cost for the West London Wa ste Plan has been agreed and are £30k per borough per year over the five-year period 2023/24 to 2027/28, which is met from the Strategic Planning Earmarked Reserve and is reflected within the budget monitoring position. Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The legal implications are set out in full in Appendix 1 to this report, the Cabinet report for approval to consult on the regulation 1 9 West London Waste Plan. The Council will be conducting the consultation in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Local P lanning) Regulations 2012 (as amended). BACKGROUND PAPERS NIL.

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS None at this stage. BACKGROUND PAPERS NIL. APPENDIX Appendix 1 – Guidance on undertaking policy reviews. Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public Appendix 1 - Guidance on undertaking policy reviews Over the years, Hillingdon’s Select Committees have undertaken successful in-depth reviews of Council services and policies. This has resulted in a number of positive changes locally, with some also affecting policy at a national level. Such Committees engage Councillors in a wide range of Council activity and build a greater understanding about service provision to residents. Policy reviews generally seek to: 1. Address a [significant] matter affecting the Borough 2. Seek to improve the delivery and/ or efficiency of local services 3. Consider changes to policies or procedures to improve outcomes to residents/users REVIEW PHASES The typical phases of a review are as follows and set out further below: 1 Selection of topic 2 Scoping the review/ setting out objectives 3 Witness & evidence stage (this is the main activity) 4 Findings and Draft recommendations (possible early report draft) 5 Final report approved by Committee 6 Referred to Cabinet for consideration 7 Monitoring the implementation of recommendations once approved / amended by Cabinet at meetings, i.e. in six months 1. Selection of topic Choosing the right topic is key. There are often many ideas, so focus on what will add the most value. Topics should be clear and specific (e.g. not a broad area like “waste services”, but a defined issue within it). Assessing and testing topics Before agreeing a topic, Members should:  Check whether the issue is already being reviewed or planned by Cabinet or officers  Avoid duplicating other work  Consider whether it is suitable and achievable for scrutiny To help decide:  Use the Scorecard (Annex A) to assess impact and value  Consider adding the topic as an information report first to explore it further before committing to a full review Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public Scope and timing  Narrow issues may be suitable for a single meeting review  Broader or more complex issues may require a full review over several months Where ideas come from Topics can be suggested by:  Committee or Cabinet Members  Partners or organisations  Residents  Relevant Council officers  Ombudsman findings Capacity It is recommended the Committee undertakes one review at a time to ensure focus and quality 2. Scoping report Once a topic is agreed, officers prepare a scoping report to help plan the review. This sets out:  The aims and objectives of the review  A proposed structure and timetable (e.g. themed witness sessions)  Suggested witnesses and evidence sources  Initial lines of enquiry to guide questioning The scoping report is a working document owned by the Committee. It can be updated as the review progresses if the focus or priorities change. 3. Witness and evidence stage This stage gathers the evidence needed to support the Committee’s findings and recommendations. A strong review is based on a wide range of perspectives, including residents, partners, experts and officers. Members’ local knowledge is also an important part of the evidence base and witness sessions. The Committee can use a mix of methods, both in and outside meetings, such as:  Requesting data, reports and intelligence  Inviting Cabinet Members, officers, and external witnesses  Hearing directly from residents and service users  Surveys, social media and promoting the review to gather views  Workshops, networking events or informal sessions  Site visits (within the Borough or to other authorities)  Commissioning specialist advice or reports where needed The aim is to build a balanced, evidence-led understanding of the issues. Preparing for this stage Members can strengthen the review by:  Preparing questions for witnesses in advance Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public  Reading background information on organisations or topics  Undertaking their own research  Using networks with councillors in other areas  Gathering views from residents through ward work and surgeries Good preparation and a broad evidence base will ensure the Committee is well placed to develop clear, credible findings and recommendations. 4. Findings and draft recommendations After gathering evidence, the Committee meets to agree its key findings – what needs to improve or change. From this, Members develop draft recommendations. These should:  Address the original aims of the review  Be clear, practical and achievable (SMART)  Deliver lasting improvement (not short-term fixes)  Consider cost and affordability  Be based on evidence and resident/service user insight At this stage, early engagement with the relevant Cabinet Member is important. Draft recommendations are shared with them and also officers, to seek their views and ensure they are realistic a nd deliverable. Democratic Services will support the Committee throughout, helping shape findings, draft recommendations, and coordinate any further evidence or witnesses. If recommendations are difficult to develop, consider any conclusions arising from y our review instead. 5. Final report Democratic Services works with the Chair to prepare the final report, bringing together:  Evidence gathered  The Committee’s findings  Final recommendations The Committee then formally agrees the report. 6. Referral to Cabinet The approved report is then scheduled for Cabinet. Cabinet must consider the report. If recommendations are agreed, they become formal decisions for officers to implement. 7. Monitoring recommendations A follow -up review (typically after 6 –12 m onths) checks progress against the agreed recommendations. This is included in the Committee’s work programme to ensure outcomes are delivered.

Score each criterion from 1 (low) to 5 (high), then total the score. Topic Resident impact Within remit Council influence New issue Achievable Support Improves services Efficiency / savings Wider impact Total How to score  Resident impact: Will this make a noticeable difference to residents?  Within remit: Is it clearly within the Committee’s responsibilities?  Council influence: Can the Council influence or change this issue?  New issue: Has this not been reviewed recently internally or by Members?  Achievable: Can this be completed within your timeframe?  Support: Is there likely to be wide support from Members, officers or partners doing this?  Improves services: Will it address performance issues or complaints?  Efficiency / savings: Could it improve value for money or reduce costs?  Wider impact: Could it have learning beyond Hillingdon (e.g. London or national)?

Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public CABINET FORWARD PLAN Committee name Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee Officer reporting Ryan Dell, Democratic Services Papers with report Appendix A – Latest Forward Plan Ward As shown on the Forward Plan HEADLINES To monitor the Cabinet’s latest Forward Plan which sets out key decisions and other decisions to be taken by the Cabinet collectively and Cabinet Members individually over the coming year. The report sets out the actions available to the Committee. RECOMMENDATION That the Committee considers the Cabinet Forward Plan. SUPPORTING INFORMATION The Cabinet Forward Plan is published monthly, usually around the first or second week of each month. It is a rolling document giving the required public notice of future key decisions to be taken. Should a later edition of t he Forward Plan be published after this agenda has been circulated, Democratic Services will update the Committee on any new items or changes at the meeting. As part of its Terms of Reference, each Committee should consider the Forward Plan and , if it deems necessary, comment as appropriate to the decision-maker on the items listed which relate to services within its remit. For reference, the Forward Plan helpfully details which committee’s remit covers the relevant future decision item listed. The Committee’s monitoring role of the Forward Plan can be undertaken in a variety of ways , including both pre -decision and post -decision scrutiny of the items listed . The provision of advance information on future items listed (potentially also draft reports) to the Committee in advance will often depend upon a variety of factors including timing or feasibility, and ultimately any such request would rest with the relevant Cabinet Member to decide. However, the 2019 Protocol on Overview & Scrutiny and Cabinet Relations (part of the Hillingdon Constitution) does provide guidance to Cabinet Members to:  Actively support the provision of relevant Council information and other requests from the Committee as part of their work programme;  Where feasible, provide opportunities for committees to provide their input on forthcoming executive reports as set out in the Forward Plan to enable wider pre -decision scrutiny (in addition to those statutorily required to come before committees , i.e. policy fr amework documents – see para. below). Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee – 29 July 2026 Part I – Public Therefore, in general, the Committee may consider the following actions on specific items listed on the Forward Plan: Committee action When How 1 To provide specific comments to be included in a future Cabinet or Cabinet Member report on matters within its remit. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to provide its influence and views on a particular matter within the formal report to the Cabinet or Cabinet Member before the decision is made. This would usually be where the Committee has previously considered a draft report or the topic in detail, or where it considers it has sufficient information already to provide relevant comments to the decision-maker. These would go within the standard section in every Cabinet or Cabinet Member report called “Committee comments”. The Cabinet or Cabinet Member would then consider these as part of any decision they make. 2 To request further information on future reports listed under its remit. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to discover more about a matter within its remit that is listed on the Forward Plan. Whilst such advance information can be requested from officers, the Committee should note that information may or may not be available in advance due to various factors, including timescales or the status of the drafting of the report itself and the formulation of final recommendation(s). Ultimately, the provision of any information in advance would be a matter for the Cabinet Member to decide. This would be considered at a subsequent Committee meeting. Alternatively, information could be circulated outside the meeting if reporting timescales require this. Upon the provision of any information, the Committee may then decide to provide specific comments (as per 1 above). 3 To request the Cabinet Member considers providing a draft of the report, if feasible, for the Committee to consider prior to it being considered formally for decision. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to provide an early steer or help shape a future report to Cabinet, e.g., on a policy matter. Whilst not the default position, Committees do occasionally receive draft versions of Cabinet reports prior to their formal consideration. The provision of such draft reports in advance may depend upon different factors, e.g., the timings required for that decision. Ultimately any request to see a draft report early would need the approval of the relevant Cabinet Member. Democratic Services would contact the relevant Cabinet Member and Officer upon any such request. If agreed, the draft report would be considered at a subsequent Committee meeting to provide views and feedback to officers before they finalise it for the Cabinet or Cabinet Member. An opportunity to provide specific comments (as per 1 above) is also possible. 4 To identify a forthcoming report that may merit a post- decision review at a later Committee meeting As part of its post-decision scrutiny and broader reviewing role, this would be where the Select Committee may wish to monitor the implementation of a certain Cabinet or Cabinet Member decision listed/taken at a later stage, i.e., to review its effectiveness after a period of 6 months. The Committee should note that this is different to the use of the post-decision scrutiny ‘call-in’ power which seeks to ask the Cabinet or Cabinet Member to formally re-consider a decision up to 5 working days after the decision notice has been issued. This is undertaken via the new Scrutiny Call-in App members of the relevant Committee. The Committee would add the matter to its multi- year work programme after a suitable time has elapsed upon the decision expected to be made by the Cabinet or Cabinet Member. Relevant service areas may be best to advise on the most appropriate time to review the matter once the decision is made.
