Dear Ms Sivanandan,

Re: Freedom of Information Act Request ref: LBH/6930917

Thank you for your request for information received on 20 December 2017,
in which you asked for the following information:

o Please can you state (1) (a) what the Housing Revenue borrowing cap
for 2014 / 2015 was and (b) how much the Council requested to borrow
and (c) how much the Council obtained and (d) how many homes at social
rent were built by the Council in the financial year 2014 /15?
o Please can you state (2) (a) what the Housing Revenue borrowing cap
for 2015 / 2016 was and (b) how much the Council requested to borrow
and (c) how much the Council obtained and (d) how many homes at social
rent were built by the Council in the financial year 2015 /16?
o Please can you state (3) (a) what the Housing Revenue borrowing cap
for 2016 / 2017 was and (b) how much the Council requested to borrow
and (c) how much the Council obtained and (d) how many homes at social
rent were built by the Council in the financial year 2016 /17?

My response is as follows:

The HRA headroom cap for each of these years is already published on our
website in the annual budget reports that go to Cabinet in February each
year. The relevant papers for 2017 were published here:
[1]https://www.minutes.haringey.gov.uk/ieLi...

The council did not request to borrow any further funds in any of these
years. The number of homes built for social rent in each of these years is
already published for all local authorities in England on the MHCLG
website:
[2]https://www.gov.uk/government/collection...

In light of the lifting of the Housing Revenue borrowing cap in the Budget
of November 2017, please state: (4)  (a) Have you applied for the
increased borrowing cap given the "high affordability pressures" in
Haringey?  (b)  If not, why not?  (c) Do you intend to do so and if so
when?

a)    No

b)    Bidding is not yet open

c)    No decision has been made on this

If you are unhappy with how we have responded to your request you can ask
us to conduct an Internal Review. If so, please contact the Feedback and
Information Team as below. (Please note you should do this within two
months of receiving this response.)
