Introduction to the Options Appraisal Process

What is an Options Appraisal?

• Structured process to decide on the best way forward
• Balances a range of factors – housing, social, health &

wellbeing, local environment, economic, planning, community and financial & deliverability

• Typically tests 5-6 options, against a “do nothing” or “business

as usual” base case

• Needs to take enough time to consider issues thoroughly but

also give people certainty on a decision / conclusion date

• Carried out in line with government and GLA guidance
• Intended only to indicate the best broad option; this will then

need to be worked up in detail in conjunction with local people

Ways for People to get Involved and Express Views

Concerns Raised to Date

• No changes to social rents (service charges will depend on

any new proposals).

• No changes to tenancy terms and conditions
• All tenants can remain living within the immediate area:
• In their existing homes if the Options Appraisal indicates no

change

• In a new home that meets their needs if the Options

appraisal indicates new development Homes, Rents and Tenancies

Options to Get Involved

• One Housing is committed to listening to residents
• TRAs will be a key source of input
• We want to agree the best way to involve everyone
• Options include:
• A representative resident group
• Public events, drop-in days and focus sessions
• Online consultation
• Appointing an Independent Tenant Advisor who would

work for residents

• Training sessions to understand technical and design issues
