Decision
- PSDS is the route for school decarbonisation works (when a window is open).
- Warm Homes Plan is residential-led; reach into the school estate is limited to co-located residential blocks and caretaker housing.
Grant rate and scope
- PSDS: 100% capital, no co-funding. Public-estate scope.
- Warm Homes: allocation-based, residential-led. Different evidence base.
Multi-year sequencing
Where a school has both school buildings and on-site residential, sequence PSDS on the school and Warm Homes on the residential. Different bid teams; do not crosswire the evidence packs.
Where they overlap
Caretaker housing on a school site is the genuine overlap. Treat as residential; bid Warm Homes.
