LB Waltham Forest Strategic Asset Management PlanINTRODUCTIONOur approachOur aimsThe Creating Futures corporate strategysets out the Council’s vision for creatingstrong and sustainable communities,and its commitment to achievingthe best possible outcomes for ourcommunities. Making the best use of ourphysical assets is a key contributor toachieving this vision.When assessing why we hold our assetswe will consider not only financial gainsbut also the asset’s contribution to longterm socio-economic benefits. We aim totake a portfolio approach and considerour assets collectively, looking at howthey can be used interdependently tocreate a lasting legacy for the benefitof the community. We will maintain,enhance and continually challengeour existing portfolio. Our InvestmentStrategy sits alongside this SAMPto address not only the assets thatwe currently own, but our intentionsfor making strategic acquisitions tosupport our programmes for return oninvestment and commercialisation. TheVenn diagram in figure 2 demonstratesthe synergy between three core prioritiesfor the Economic Growth and HousingDelivery Directorate:We will be commercially minded,entrepreneurial and will always prioritiseachieving clear outcomes for anythingwe propose to do with our propertyassets. This vision is reflected in theprinciples of the Property TransformationStrategy, which this document buildsupon.This SAMP has been developedthrough a collaborative process withservice leads and has established aprocess for working with our key internalstakeholders, to challenge why eachasset is held and to define and providefor the longer term corporate need. Therecommendations seek to address boththe agreed outcomes from workshopsheld with internal stakeholders and theneed to achieve the Council's strategicpriorities.· Delivery of core operational needs –maintenance and management of thecurrent operational estate in order toeffectively deliver services.· Commercialisation – to exploreinnovative ways to reduce operatingcosts and generate income, and tosupport our services in their initiativesfor commercialisation through servicedelivery.· Return on Investment – to invest inassets that have a clear objective forachieving financial returns, as well associal and economic benefits.CommercialisationDelivery of coreoperationalneedsFigure 2: Core themes reflected in the SAMPReturn oninvestment5

LB Waltham Forest Strategic Asset Management PlanASSESSCurrentpracticesCurrent state ofassetsPLANService strategies'Assess' – establishing the status quoThe aim of this phase is to review and understand thecurrent state of the portfolio and to establish a robustbase position, agreed with our service departments.During this phase, interviews were conducted with allservice leads in order to establish the current servicestrategy and future aspirations for service delivery. Adetailed desktop analysis was undertaken and verifiedwith client departments, and property inspectionswere carried out on some properties where inadequateinformation was available. During inspections, thecondition and utilisation of the properties were notedto be further discussed at the workshops.One of the outcomes of the process has been therequirement to establish a defined workstream for datamanagement and the updating of the Council’s assetmanagement database – Concerto. This has beencaptured within the recommendations in section 3.AssetchallengeAsset ManagementPlan8IMPLEMENTIntegrate to long-termfinancial plan‘Plan’– how we challengedThree property workshops were conducted for theFamilies and Homes directorate, the Neighbourhoodsand Commercial Services directorate and for theInvestment Portfolio. The aim of the workshops wasto arrive at a high-level assessment of service andcorporate need over the next five years. Each workshopwas attended by officers from service departments, aswell as colleagues from our Planning and Regenerationteams. Each property asset was mapped onto a plan,with housing growth and regeneration areas marked.This enabled the group to consider each asset within thecontext of its location.Each asset was assessed using the challenge criteria(see figure 4) for determining any potential futureopportunity and stakeholders were asked to collectivelyagree on their views. The results of the workshops formpart of the recommendations of this SAMP and theopportunities presented will be explored further as partof the implementation phase.Implement assetmanagement practicesMeasure and report‘Implement’ – How we will deliverThe recommendations of this SAMP, onceendorsed via internal governance processes andembedded within the Capital Strategy, will form the‘Implementation Plan’. This will detail the resourcesrequired, define budgets for delivery, and identifykey actions and activities that will enable the Councilto deliver its asset management objectives. TheImplementation Plan will follow on from the SAMPand will be formed by working jointly with servicedepartments and key stakeholders to first agree on thepriorities coming out of the SAMP.

Figure 5illustrates how the priorities of eachlayer in the hierarchy are connected,effectively providing a clear statement ofthe purpose and performance objectivesexpected from the Council’s propertyportfolio.The framework will have a medium-termlifespan but will require an annual reviewas part of the Capital Strategy and AssetManagement Group (CSAMG) and theAsset Planning Process. A summary ofthe main purpose of each is summarisedas follows:Creating FuturesKey priorities& principlesThe 5 Driving Principles:and safe.2. Return on investment1. Keep Waltham Forest clean2.

LB Waltham Forest Strategic Asset Management PlanThe PropertyTransformation StrategyThe Strategic AssetManagement Plan (SAMP)The Property Transformation Strategyidentifies the key strategic policy andresource influences affecting the LondonBorough of Waltham Forest and inresponse to these, sets a broad directionfor asset management over the mediumterm, thereby enabling its propertyportfolio (and associated professionalsupport) to be optimised to meetidentified needs. The principle aims ofthe Property Transformation Strategy areshown within figure 5.This SAMP sets out the Council’sprocess for assessing the operationaland financial contribution that propertymakes as a corporate resource. TheSAMP and our process underpinningit, determines how each property assetaligns with the overall priorities of theCouncil, supports service delivery andbusiness outcomes. The SAMP sitsalongside other service strategies andCouncil-wide programmes includingthe Investment Strategy, which is a keydocument that supports the objectivesof the SAMP by defining our acquisitionstrategy. The Investment Strategy isdiscussed further on page 12.Through the Asset Challenge process,we have identified which assets shouldbe retained as is and which needfurther consideration. The outcomesof the workshops have informed therecommendations of this SAMP.The plan sets the context and aprogramme of action for the Council’sproperty portfolio over the medium termand is intended for a wide audience,including:Partners Strategic AMPSCapital ProgrammeCustomer Insight StrategyRationalisation & efficiencyProperty TransformationStrategyStrategic Asset Management PlanFigure 6: Asset Management Policy document hierarchy· Elected Members – to supportdecisions on investment priorities inthe portfolio· Service managers – to identifyportfolio changes to meet their needs· Building users – to promoteawareness of procedures and likelyportfolio changes· Public – a statement of the Council’sasset management practices andpriorities· Estate professionals/developmentpartners – an indication ofopportunities for development andpartnership working.Service StrategiesCreating FuturesCorporate StrategyHousing Management PlanHighways & Public RealmPublic Place PlanThink Family11Service transformation & OPERegen & BusinessStrategies Local PlanEconomic GrowthService Asset Management PlanAsset Plan & StrategiesInvestment StrategyMaintenance StrategyService Strategies set out each servicedepartment’s aims and aspirations forfuture service delivery and highlight anyinitiatives for co-locating, partnershipworking, service reduction or expansion.It is expected that any future updatedservice strategies will be communicatedto the Commercial Property & DeliveryTeam and advice sought on strategicproperty implications as a result ofthe new strategy.

The implications of thesechanges are under review which willresult in the requirement to update theCouncil’s proposed investment strategyfor the property portfolio.The proposition of this fund will be tofocus on commercial investments toprovide cash returns for the Council butto also consider other investment whichwould also generate social/ economicreturns for the Council.The purchase of the Tramworks sitein Walthamstow (see below) is thefirst commercial investment to comeunder and the new strategy and theacquisition of the EMD Cinema isan example of an acquisitions whichdelivery income and social/economicreturns. The Investment Strategy isalso a key enabler for unlocking thepotential opportunities that our Boroughof Culture programme presents in termsof contributing to social and economicgrowth opportunities.The strategy will incorporate theprinciples of the Council’s Return onInvestment Programme, which hasbeen launched to address the ongoingreduction in government funding andto maximise return on investment forthe Council. The aim of the programmeis to establish the Council’s approachto measuring its return on investmentacross all services and activities; thisincludes assessing social and economicreturns as well as financial.CREATE/ACQUIREDISPOSEFigure 7: Property life cycleOPTIMISE& ADAPTMAINTAIN12
