  1. Local Roots to Growth Speakers: Simon Ridley, Chief Executive, Planning Inspectorate Robert Hough, Chair, Liverpool City Region LEP Andrew Carter, Chief Executive, Centre for Cities Chair: Ged Fitzgerald, Chief Executive, Liverpool City Council

  2. Local Plans:Delivering for Local People Simon Ridley Chief Executive, The Planning Inspectorate

  3. The NPPF sets out a positive planning framework • Plan led system • Presumption in favour of sustainable development • Duty to cooperate • Meet objectively assessed needs, in full • 5 year housing land supply

  4. NPPF puts local plans at the heart of the planning system • “it is highly desirable that local planning authorities should have an up-to-date plan in place” paragraph 12 • “proactively drive and support sustainable economic development to deliver the homes, businesses and industrial units, infrastructure and thriving local places that the country needs” paragraph 17 • “Significant weight should be placed on the need to support economic growth through the planning system” paragraph 19

  5. Now nearly 60% of strategic local plans are adopted

  6. The Planning Inspectorate has record numbers of plans at examination

  7. A number of issues are critical to successful plans and faster examinations • Need to meet the current Objectively Assessed Need. • Identification of 5 year housing land supply, plus 5% or 20% buffer • Need for a robust Sustainability Appraisal and appropriate public consultation, including on proposed modifications. • Duty to Cooperate

  8. The Planning Inspectorate is helping local authorities adopt a local plan • One to one advisory visits • Procedural guidance • Working with DCLG and the Planning Advisory Service

  9. “He who fails to plan is planning to fail" Winston Churchill

  11. Liverpool City Region Growth Deal

  12. Roots to local growth... • Identify your priorities • Based on your asset base, opportunities, & market proposition • Choose the right projects • Develop the right structures • Collaboration is key • Engage the private sector • Make sure you deliver... • Achieve impact in and effective & efficient way • Engender trust

  13. Identifying our priorities... What we (collaboratively) are trying to tackle...

  14. Tackle key economic conditions and harness our latent potential • LCR GVA per head is £15,600, UK it is £20,900 - equates to an £8.2bn gap • The gap has remained largely unchanged over the last decade To tackle this gap we need: • 18,500 businesses to match the UK average business density • An additional 35,000 individuals to be economically active to match the national average • An additional 46,200 individuals in employment • Respond the shortfall of 90,000 jobs in our economy • Increase household income per head – the deficit is £1,700 per person GVA per head per annum Source: Office for National Statistics, Regional Accounts Note: *=UK less Extra Region, excludes output that cannot be assigned to regions

  15. Continuing momentum... Gross Value Added % change on a year earlier, 2002 - 2012 • Growth in the economy has accelerated over the last 5 years outperforming the national average • LCR one of only 2 NUTS 2 areas in England to record growth in both years of the downturn • The City Region has created 12,000 private sector jobs over the last 2 years • With 4,675 business start-ups recorded in 2012 the gap with the national formation rate has narrowed Source: LEP analysis of Office for National Statistics, Regional Accounts Note: UK = UK less Extra Regio, excludes output that cannot be assigned to regions

  16. Capitalising on our asset base... Source: Office for National Statistics, Annual Population Survey

  17. Our strategy will be delivered by five strategic projects & a series of enabling elements... These are our priorities

  18. The five strategic projects and enabling elements... A: Liverpool City Centre B: The Liverpool City Region Freight & Logistics Hub C: LCR2Energy D: Access to the Port of Liverpool (and package of corridor improvements) • Liverpool City Centre • The Liverpool City Region Freight & Logistics Hub • Our 3 Enterprise Zones • Sites for Big Science • Sites for business expansion/growth E: LCR Capital Investment Fund to enable • Growth enabled via place based economic development (including 3 growth deal programmes), via skills (ongoing delivery of skills for growth) and via business support (supply chains and enterprise strategy) as well as development of an innovation ecosystem...

  19. Strategic Project A: Liverpool City Centre

  20. Strategic Project A: Liverpool City Centre • Recognised as a generator of jobs and growth for the entire City Region and beyond • City region has 1.5 million people – serves wider area of up to 2.3m people • Key economic asset & Enterprise Zone • Global ‘brand’ – recognised internationally • Central to our visitor economy • 43,000 jobs now aiming for 57,000 by 2023 • Expanding conference destination • 2014 International Festival for Business • Aiming to be ranked 3rd in UK • Investments ongoing – ACC Liverpool • Enterprise Zone Delivery Plan • 1,000 new jobs by 2015 & 15,400 by 2038 • Business rate growth of £13.3m per annum Stanley Dock

  24. Strategic Project B: LCR Freight & Logistics Hub

  25. SuperPORT opportunity • Market facing opportunity • 90% of imports enter via South of England but 60% consumed North of midlands • Global (& UK) logistics industry changing – Liverpool ideally placed to take opportunities • £340m ‘Liverpool 2’ project increases capacity x 3 = private sector investment in opportunity • However, it needs complementary investment to capture growth/jobs • Freight network = transport • Logistics space required = bringing forward land & sites • Skills for Growth = skills • Supply chain & export opportunities too = business growth 26

  26.

  30. Put in place the right structures (for you)...

  31. Structures are complex... • Every place is different • Different economic potential = different priorities • Different path dependency...how did we get to here requires different response? • Different institutions • Essential therefore that every place is ‘enabled’ to do what is best for them... • Government adds to complexity • National vs local vs supra-local service funding & delivery • Discretionary funding through ‘initiativitus’ • Local Authorities / Combined Authorities / Mayors • Transport Authorities and Local Transport Bodies • LEPs (being strategic or delivering?) • Cannot easily ‘fix’ the national complexity... Each local area must find its own ‘institutional fix’ – what is best for you to enable local growth?

  32. As a Statutory Process the implications of the CA are primarily for Local Authorities but obviously, it needs to include arrangements with other bodies – such as the LEP • But – joint recognition of need for a collaborative approach with the aim of ‘doing things better’ as a collective in the City Region • Outcomes of the process are: • LEP is a voting member on the Combined Authority securing the private sector a voice at the top table – this is unique to Liverpool City Region • This allows Local Transport Body ‘transition’ = simpler structures • LEP responsibilities from Government remain unchanged; but we work closely with the CA to ensure delivery of more investment, jobs and growth • LEP recognised via the CA’s own protocols as the lead body for economic development at a strategic level Our LEP...working with a CA ‘Best in class’ institutional fix? Binding collaborative working in the City Region

  33. Make sure you deliver...

  34. Effort must be about achieving something... • Local Investment • Local Jobs • Local Growth • Delivery is therefore essential... • On time, on budget, well managed • Achieving an impact – it has to make a change • We can only expect devolution IF we deliver • Proof will be in the doing not the rhetoric • Those who deliver will deserve devolution • As much as anything else – work with the private sector Delivery is key
