Indicator Number of jobs accommodated Reference

R240/TR007

Origin

2007-13 ERDF Structural Funds Programme indicator

Definition Number of jobs accommodated within the sites and premises referred to in the indicators

• ‘Premises created or refurbished’ (Reference R320) Accommodated: The maximum number potentially located at any one time. This is not the number accommodated over the life of the premises. NB

• If the project involves the refurbishment of a premises then this should be the number of additional jobs accommodated

The English Partnerships’ Employment Densities Guide (2nd Edition, 2010) may be used when calculating jobs accommodated.


Buildings should be complete before reporting jobs accommodated. Evidence:

• Floor plans

• Building specifications to support the number of new desks/positions provided.

Indicator Number of Households helped towards securing improvements in energy performance

Reference TR026* Origin Programme for Government Definition Further details

This indicator measures the number of households helped towards securing improvements in the energy performance of their homes. This does not include WHQS improved properties or renewal area projects.


Addresses of the properties improved

Indicator Number of jobs created in the construction sector

Reference TR029 Origin Programme for Government Definition Further details

This indicator measures the number of jobs created in the construction sector as a result of Welsh Government regeneration investment. A construction job includes unskilled, skilled, technical and managerial roles that would be utilised in the delivery of construction projects. The number of new jobs should be provided as full time equivalent (FTE) jobs. The FTE equivalent is calculated as follows - calculate the total person months for the duration of the project. This is then divided by 12 to provide equivalent person years. A temporary job is a new job that lasts more than a total of six person-months during the course of the project (thereby being equal to one FTE job) but not beyond the period of assistance from Welsh Government. A new job that last for at least two years beyond the project period is considered permanent. Please specify whether jobs are temporary or permanent.


Written confirmation from the Tier 1 contractor of the number of jobs created during the life of the project (temporary jobs) of jobs retained for two years beyond our funding. If these jobs are created by sub-contractors then this written confirmation should come from the sub-contractor.

March 2014

Indicator Gross jobs created Reference

R170

Origin


Definition Further details

The gross number of jobs created. Job:

• A new permanent post, i.e. not of a fixed duration and there is a reasonable belief that it will last indefinitely;

• The post itself should be counted, not an estimate of the number of people that may occupy the post over time.

• A seasonal job may also be counted, so long as the job is expected to recur indefinitely. In this case the project should report, in addition to the number of hours per week, the proportion of the year worked.

• Project management/administration jobs within a Structural fund project cannot be indicated.

NB Jobs should be reported as full Time Equivalents (FTEs), based on a 30 hour week. For example

• If a post involves working 30 hours or more per week then it is 1 FTE.

• If a job is not full-time, then the hours worked each week will need to be divided by 30 to give the proportion of FTE represented e.g. 18 hours per week would be 0.6 FTE.

Gross: The total number achieved through this activity (irrespective of the proportion of the project funded) and has not been adjusted for deadweight, displacement, leakage and multiplier effects. Created: Achieved through assistance or financial support and did not exist prior to the activity. This does not include jobs that have been relocated.

Indicator Additional infrastructure investment levered through regeneration projects

Reference TR019 Origin Programme for Government Definition Further information

This indicator measures the additional infrastructure investment (£) levered in through Welsh Government regeneration projects. Infrastructure is enabling works or services that accelerate economic, social or environmental outcomes. The Treasury (Investing in Britain’s Future 2013) defines infrastructure investment to include Roads, rail, energy, science and innovation, housing and digital communications. The investment measured will be the non Welsh Government funding into the infrastructure project.


Match funding letters in relation to the project.

Indicator Investment induced Reference

R220

Origin

Based on 2007-13 ERDF Structural Funds Programme Indicator descriptor

Definition Further Detail

Measured in ‘£’, this is the gross amount of direct tangible or intangible investment from the private sector; commercial, charitable and not for profit organisations and private individuals. This does not include funds awarded from the National Lottery. This indicator is for capital investment only; all revenue investment should be excluded. Investment does not include operational ongoing costs, such as personal costs (ibid). The investment must have been induced through the financial support and must not include any project match funding. Investment may be in tangible or intangible assets; property, plant, machinery, refurbishment, etc. The investment induced is the total cost of the project assisted by VVP minus the total public sector investment (which includes lottery funding as noted above). The total cost of the project includes:

• Assets with a readily available market value under standard accounting rules contributed to the project;

• Amounts borrowed such as bank loans and financing;

March 2014


11

• Interest paid, where material and able to be calculated with reasonable certainty.

Bank Borrowings are included in the Investment value, as over time, as they are repaid they do form part of the cost of the project to the investor. Directors Loans (ensuring all legal forms are followed) to the business if used in the project are also included as they are an investment by a private sector individual. Interest costs – Where interest costs are material (see below) they may be included. Guidance is as follows:-

• Where possible actual interest costs should be used, this may be available when the investor has chosen under accounting rules to capitalise the interest costs associated with the construction of an asset, or if the business can identify the individual interest element.

• It is likely in most cases that the interest element will not be separately identifiable, in these cases the businesses own estimate Cost of Capital would serve to provide an appropriate estimate.

Materiality, interest would be material if its omission or inclusion would influence the understanding and interpretation of the reported investment value. Investment induced specifically excludes:

• Other public sector grants / funds i.e. local authority

• Spend incurred in the development phase by a third party, prior to the project being approved by the Department. (Finance Wales investments fall under this)


Scored once support has been provided and detail for each investor:

o name address, o contact details, o receipt of financial contribution or for intangible

investment, o recipient statement (signed by Finance Director) on what

was provided and its financial value, with evidence of its financial value (e.g. equipment, evidence of market value such as invoice or copy of receipts) (Off PAT 2006 p.11)

17

Indicator Business premises created or refurbished Reference R320 Origin 2007-13 ERDF Structural Funds Programme indicator Definition

• The number of square metres of building space created or refurbished for business and/or educational use.

• Extensions to existing buildings also count as new floor space.

• All floor areas are to be measured in Square Metres on gross external area, except offices which are to be measured net internal, both as defined by the RICS Code of Measuring Practice.

NB This does not include area used for car parking or external landscaping. Created: Putting up a new building. Refurbished: Refurbishing an existing building. This does not include buildings that have simply been repaired or had only superficial internal refurbishment.


All outputs should be recorded by type on practical completion of construction of new or refurbished premises. Evidence required:


• QS certification of works carried out, e.g. o site services/utilities and infrastructure o foundations laid o walls and roof built.

Category breakdowns

Result should be scored by type, as follows:

• Innovation and R & D centres

• Education

• Business – office

• Business – manufacturing

• Business – distribution

• Business – retail

• Business - leisure Innovation and R & D centres – Technium or similar building Office – Stand alone or part of a mixed use building. This measure does not include offices that are ancillary to any of the above uses. Manufacturing – All industrial uses, including B1(b), B1(c) and B2

March 2014


18

Distribution – Warehouses and Distribution including all B8 Retail – Including all A1, A2 and A3 uses Leisure – Commercial leisure uses such as Cinema, Bowling, Hotels, Sports or Health Clubs etc.

• Multi use buildings may be recorded under more than one use category i.e. the floor space allocated to each use being recorded under the relevant heading. Alternatively, where the division of floor space is flexible it should be recorded against the anticipated majority use.

• It may be difficult to determine whether a building is distribution or manufacturing where the planning consent is for B1, B2 and B8. In such cases, you are advised to record the space as manufacturing, unless the planning indicates that the B1 and B2 uses are ancillary to the B8.

• There may be rare occasions when it is not possible to either record on practical completion or there is a lack of clarity about the final use. Best practice in such cases will be to defer recording until good evidence is available but if you are able to place on file a robust rationale for earlier recording this may be done (e.g. on sale of land by a joint venture partner), though in such cases you should provide for post event monitoring of what outcome is finally achieved.

Indicator Additional market housing units Reference

OU045/R200

Origin

Programme for Government

Definition The number of market housing units developed as a result of support and are ready for occupation. Market housings units: All housing units, excluding affordable (social/Intermediate) housing units.


• The number of residential units recorded at the time a site is sold.

• The planning permission will define the total number of units and either the sale contract or S106 Agreement will specify how many of these units will be ‘affordable’ homes.

• Sales to Registered Social Landlords (RSL’s) will almost certainly result in the total number of units consented falling into the affordable category.

The WG may institute an audit process to review a sample of the residential units recorded to check that final outcome is in line with the output recorded.

March 2014


19

Indicator Additional social housing units Reference OU045 Origin Programme for Government Definition Further Detail

• Copy of planning consents defining total number of units.

• Sale contract or S106 Agreement specifying how many units will be social units.

• Number of units built Local authorities or RSLs or sold to RSLs.

An audit process to review a percentage sample of the units to check the final outcome may be instigated to verify final outcome is in line with outputs recorded.

Indicator Additional Affordable (Intermediate) Housing Units Reference TR093*/R190 Origin

DE&T indicator and Programme for Government

Definition Further details

This indicator measures the number of additional affordable housing units delivered and available for occupation in Wales each year. Affordable (intermediate) housing is that where prices or rents are above those of social rent but below market housing prices or rents. The measure is the number of self contained housing units reserved as “affordable” developed as a result of support, e.g.

• Units for letting by Councils and other Registered Social Landlords (RSLs)

• Units for sale at less than market value

• Co-ownership units. NB Houses should previously have been in the private sector and their refurbishment has increased the stock of affordable homes.


• The anticipated number of affordable residential units to be created at the time a site is sold

• The number of actual residential units when released back into the market as affordable homes.

• Copy of planning consents defining total number of units.

• Sale contract or S106 Agreement specifying how many units will be affordable home.

March 2014


22

This should be counted on an annualised cumulative basis during the lifetime of the intervention.


This should be based on DEFRA guidelines for the Measuring and Reporting of Emissions in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme. The reductions would be based on what would be expected to happen if the project did not go ahead. The Carbon Trust web site includes an outline of the methodology. http://www.carbontrust.co.uk/resource/measuring_co2/Measuring_CO2_Examples.htm?print=1

Calculation The calculation of CO2 emissions is: CO2 emissions (tonnes) = Energy consumption (kWh) X Fuel emission factor (kgCO2/kWh) X 0.001

Indicator Energy Saved Reference
