City Deal Implementation Plan
1. INTRODUCTION
The Preston, South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal agreed with Government builds on
the strong economic performance of the area over the last 10 years and will help to
ensure that the city deal area continues to grow by addressing strategic transport
infrastructure and development challenges to deliver new jobs and housing across the
city deal area.
Over a ten-year period the deal will generate:
1. More than 20,000 net new private sector jobs, including 5,000 in the Lancashire
Enterprise Zone;
2. Nearly £1 billion growth in Gross Value Added (GVA);
3. 17,420 new homes; and
4. £2.3 billion in leveraged commercial investment.
This document sets out the arrangements for the City Deal implementation for the period 20152018 outlining critical financial and project delivery milestones and risks, and the management
mechanisms in support of government monitoring and reporting processes. This document sits
above and does not replace the Infrastructure Delivery Plan or HCA Business & Disposal Plan.
2. CITY DEAL PRIORITIES
The City Deal involves the delivery of critical highways infrastructure to allow the full
development of significant commercial development and housing schemes. For the
purposes of clarity, activities have been categorised into Zones where there is the
strongest complementarity between infrastructure works and housing and commercial
development.

3. FUNDING
To deliver the City Deal, partners have established a City Deal Infrastructure Delivery
Programme and City Deal Investment Fund, which together are worth £450m over the
lifetime of the Deal.
The City Deal Infrastructure Delivery Programme is funded through pooled local and
national private and public sector resources;

The private sector contributions will be made through Community Infrastructure
Levy (CIL) and other contributions.

Central Government through long term transport funding secured as part of
Lancashire's Growth Deal, Highways England (formerly Highways Agency)
funding for new and existing motorway junctions and the Department for
Transport (DfT) through Local Major funding.

The HCA through the local retention of value uplift from land sales.

The councils via New Homes Bonus (NHB), Business Rates (NNDR), capital
programme resources (for example Single Local Growth Fund) and land.

Lancashire County Council will also cash flow support from internal reserves.

The City Deal Investment Fund is part of a £100m local allocation from the
Lancashire Pension Fund, available to be invested on a commercial basis in
housing and development schemes in the City Deal area.

4. GOVERNANCE, DELIVERY &
IMPLEMENTATION
The annual Infrastructure Delivery Programme is set by the City Deal Executive and
Stewardship Board and is implemented under the direction of a Programme Board
whose members include the Chief Executives of local partners. The Programme Board
considers issues to be referred to the City Deal Executive.
A Project Team is responsible for driving forward the Programme, allocating resources,
considering quarterly progress reports, managing and addressing risks to the
implementation plan and initiating pieces of work to facilitate the delivery of the Deal.
The Project Team is chaired by the City Deal Project Director and includes senior
representatives from each of the local partners.
At the project level, a series of working groups oversee the development, co-ordination
and operational delivery of each of the schemes in the Programme.
Planning and Co-ordination Group
Supports the Joint Advisory Committee and ensures planning related issues are kept
under review.
Infrastructure Delivery Group
Is responsible for preparing, implementing and monitoring progress on the City Deal
Infrastructure Programme which includes all elements of highway, housing and
community infrastructure (health, education, open space).
HCA Liaison Group

Business and Disposal Plan, ensuring its alignment with the Infrastructure Delivery
Programme and the communications and Marketing Plan. The Group oversees the
development of quarterly progress reports for submission to the Stewardship Board.
Finance Group
Ensures appropriate operating procedures are in place for the City Deal Infrastructure
Delivery fund and prepares quarterly finance monitoring reports for submission to the
Executive.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Overview
A key element of the work undertaken within the Deal programme is to monitor its
implementation, particularly in relation to the infrastructure projects, land assets and
jobs impact.
The City Deal Agreement states the purpose and commitment towards monitoring
progress in delivering the City Deal, supporting the joint objectives of the Board, Local
Partners, HCA and Government.
Performance is assessed within quarterly returns to HMG and high level reports to
measure outputs and receipts against the baseline targets and milestones as set out in
this delivery plan, which also informs future plans.
In addition to the delivery plans, a list of indicators are used to assist in measuring the
impacts of the Deal which are prepared and reviewed by the City Deal Monitoring Group
for consideration by the Stewardship Board and onward submission to DCLG.
Monitoring Framework
A Monitoring Framework sets out a range of Information relating to delivery, receipts,
expenditure and completions (including housing units and commercial buildings).
The Stewardship Board Terms of Reference set out the responsibility of the Stewardship
Board to monitor progress of the Deal and provide periodic monitoring reports to
Government.
Milestone indicators
Key milestone indicators are used to assist the monitoring of the progress HCA and
other assets, including;
•
•
•
•

Output indicators
Two sets of outputs indicators are used to ensure that progress reporting information is
fit for purpose.
Firstly, a Core Output data set provides high level monitoring indicators, which include;
•
•
•
•
Housing units (consented and completed),
Commercial floorspace (consented and completed),
Private sector investment and;
Jobs.
Secondly, a Supporting Output data set is collected to examine broader impacts of the
Deal in more detail, measuring the progress of activities from pre-planning to postimplementation, which includes;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Total number of Housing units submitted for planning,
Number of City Deal Housing Sites at which construction is actively taking
place,
Quantity of Commercial Floor space from identified and agreed Employment
Sites submitted for planning,
Retail Vacancy Rate in city and town centres,
Number of HCA sites submitted for planning permission from those identified
through City Deal,
Number of HCA sites, from those identified through City Deal, granted
planning consent,
Total number of housing completions and new floor space completed on HCA
sites,
Progress on infrastructure projects (Broughton Bypass, Penwortham Bypass,
Preston Western Distributor, South Ribble Western Distributor, Sustainable
Transport Infrastructure completions,
Progress on Community infrastructure completions Monitoring Returns.
The following levels of monitoring are used;
•
Stewardship Board/City Deal Executive – using the longer list of outputs a
more detailed overview of the City Deal area will be provided, allowing
analysis on a site by site basis which will enable finer grain analysis of
progress on the delivery of outputs, and how site development activity relate
to the completion of transport infrastructure. Core and Supporting Outputs
are to be reported to the Stewardship Board on a quarterly basis. This report
will be submitted by the City Deal Executive to the main LEP Board.
10
City Deal Implementation Plan
•
Cabinet Office/DCLG – a high level report providing information on key
housing, commercial and jobs output data based on a template used by other
City Deals. Core Outputs are to be reported to the Cabinet Office on a
quarterly basis.

6. COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL
The Communications and Marketing Strategy has been developed for the City Deal
Programme to:
•
•
•
Deliver a consistent approach to all external communications
Engage effectively with appropriate audiences
Raise the profile of the City Deal area, and its impact on the Lancashire
economy, on a local, regional and national level.
This has allowed the City Deal to achieve a positive profile with the public and some
specific audiences primarily through general public relations activities and some more
targeted, scheme-related communications and consultation.
A partnership approach to communications of the City Deal has been adopted between
the LEP, Lancashire County Council, Preston City Council, South Ribble Borough Councils
and the Homes and Communities Agency, as well as, government departments and
other partners where appropriate.
Throughout 2015-18 a range of activities will be undertaken which will maintain the
positive profile developed during ‘year one’ and further increase profile of the City Deal
Programme.
The City Deal partners will also contribute to and benefit from a Lancashire-wide
strategic marketing project recently commissioned by Lancashire Enterprise Partnership.
This will provide new promotional opportunities for the City Deal Programme and
enable communications activity to be aligned with a Lancashire-wide approach to place
marketing that proactively conveys the county as a great place to live, work and visit.
