Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan 2011-2026:
Torridge Programme for 2015/16 and 2016/17
Joint Report of the Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment and of the Head of Highways, Capital Development and Waste
|
Recommendation: It is recommended that:
(a) Committee notes the funding provisions which have been included in the report Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan 2011 to 2026: Torridge Programme for 2015/16 and 2016/17.
(b) the proposed approach to local priority waiting restrictions set out in section 4 be supported.
1. Summary
The report summarises the proposed Local Transport Plan Programme for 2015/16 and 2016/17 in the Torridge area.
2. Background
Cabinet approved a 2015/16 and 2016/17 transport capital programme in September 2015 (attached as Appendix II). This includes additional corporate funds that were allocated to support the development and match funding of major transport schemes as part of the Medium Term Capital Programme agreed by Cabinet in February 2015. Over the period 2015/16 to 2020/21 these funds can be used flexibly in response to changing circumstances and opportunities.
The County Council's own budgets for transport capital schemes remain extremely limited compared to previous years. The lower level of Integrated Block funding from Government (approximately 1/3 of its value in 2009) means that limited funding must be used effectively. In many cases this is done by using Integrated Block funding to match to external funding bids often in conjunction with other contributions from partners such as developers, District Councils, Local Enterprise Partnership and Government initiatives. In addition to previously approved enhancements to the capital programme, the updated two year programme across the County includes further enhancements of 4.267 million from developer and external contributions and 0.391 million from external grants. To enable schemes to proceed in advance of the external funding being received, 3.873 million is being forward funded using corporate funds.
3. Torridge Programme 2015/2016
The programme in this report is divided into three project groups. The Countywide Foundation Programme, the Market and Coastal Town and Rural Devon Foundation Programme and the Market and Coastal Town and Rural Devon Targeted Capital Investment Programme.
Targeted Capital Investment (TCI) schemes are primarily designed to release economic growth, particularly where this is essential to enabling new development to take place. Foundation programmes are primarily aimed at developing and delivering schemes that support the objectives of improving road safety, walking, cycling, public transport and local traffic management.
In 2015/16 the programme has been heavily constrained by commitments from 2014/15, with limited scope for new scheme starts. The 2016/17 programme is able to accommodate limited new scheme starts and is proposed to be built around the following priorities for the Integrated Block element:
Design and preparation work on schemes for external funding bids including purchase of land where required;
Match funding of external schemes;
Investment in walking and cycling facilities for access to school and employment with a particular focus on the main growth areas of Exeter, Barnstaple and Newton Abbot.
With limited funding available priority will be given for new minor schemes that meet local priorities and are supported by match funding.
Further investment is being made in public transport through the countywide bus real time information project. This is expected to go live through web and smartphone app access in the Autumn of 2015. A limited number of on-street displays will be installed during the same period. Bus priority at key traffic signal junctions, linked to the real time database, will be introduced progressively throughout 2016/17.
Design work and land assembly continues on many parts of the Strategic Cycle and Multiuse Trail Network into 2016/17 including the, Ruby Way and Tarka Trail. Bids for further external funding for construction including Growth Deal are being prepared.
A summary of individual schemes in the Torridge area is included in Appendix I.
4. A new approach to dealing with requests for waiting restrictions
The County Council regularly receives requests for waiting restrictions to be introduced or amended. These are difficult to deliver due to resource and funding pressures and this can lead to negative feedback from Members and communities.
A managed process to develop an annual local programme for each HATOC area for funding and delivery of waiting restriction schemes is under development:
Programme Development:
A list of requests is compiled comprising suggestions from each Local Member and local communities.
Officers review suggestions and comment on cost, legal compliance, compatibility with current parking strategy, wider impacts and any significant ongoing revenue implications.
HATOC considers officer review and determines the annual programme, to match the available funding.
Officers plan delivery of the in-year programme and provide progress updates at HATOC meetings.
Funding:
A HATOC Budget will be provided for an annual programme of such schemes.
Funding will cover the costs of scheme design, processing the necessary Traffic Regulation Order and installation of lines and signs.
It is intended that a single annual Traffic Regulation Order will be produced per HATOC area, thus reducing overall costs.
Assuming resource availability top-up funding can be provided by Members or Parish Councils for eligible schemes.
Critical to this approach is that the programme is locked down once a year to ensure the staff resource is provided to deliver the agreed programme. Unless there are safety-critical issues arising during the year any new request would go onto a list for the next year's programme. The provision of a specific budget will enable agreed local priority schemes to be progressed in the most cost efficient way.
It is currently intended that the long lists of schemes be drawn up and appraised over the next three months with a view to HATOCs making a decision on their annual programme for the new financial year during the Spring cycle of meetings. Decisions on funding of a HATOC programme will be made by Cabinet as part of the County Council budget setting process.
5. Consultations/Representations
The overall investment strategy in this report is based on the principles set out in the Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan 2011-2026 which included a wide range of consultations with stakeholders and the public. In addition the schemes can also be cross referenced to the Transport Infrastructure Plan. The strategic direction of investment programmes is also driven by the wider spatial strategies developed through individual District Local Plans, all of which are the subject of extensive local consultation. Detailed programmes are also influenced by the requirements and priorities of funding partners such as the LEP and the Government.
Local consultations take place on individual schemes as they progress including planning permission where relevant.
The objectives and strategies of the Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan aim to improve travel choices and reduce unnecessary use of the private car as a contribution to improving Devon's environmental, social and economic wellbeing.
Consultation on local priority waiting restrictions schemes will be in accordance with the statutory requirements for the associated Traffic Regulation Orders.
6. Financial Considerations
The September 2015 Cabinet report sets out the funding sources used to support the programme. The mix of funds for any one particular scheme may need to be varied at any time to reflect external funding requirements, changes in scheme costs and other factors. Programmes will be reviewed if and when new funding sources (including opportunities to bid) become available or are released from current schemes. Some funds are constrained to specific schemes or groups of schemes.
Section 4 of this report notes the proposed introduction of a delegated fund for Traffic Regulation Orders to each HATOC. This will be funded from the annual On-Street Parking account subject to Cabinet agreement and the available funding in future years.
7. Environmental Impact Considerations
An Environmental Impact Assessment was carried out for the overall strategy contained in the Devon and Torbay Local Transport plan 2011-2026. The environmental impacts of individual schemes are detailed in Cabinet or Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (HATOC) reports where relevant.
8. Equality Considerations
Where relevant to the decision, the Equality Act 2010 Public Sector Equality Duty requires decision makers to give due regard to the need to:
eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other prohibited conduct;
advance equality by encouraging participation, removing disadvantage, taking account of disabilities and meeting people's needs; and
foster good relations between people by tackling prejudice and promoting understanding.
Taking account of age, disability, race/ethnicity (includes Gypsies and Travellers), gender and gender identity, religion and belief, sexual orientation, pregnant women/new and breastfeeding mothers, marriage/civil partnership status in coming to a decision, a decision maker may also consider other relevant factors such as caring responsibilities, rural isolation or socio-economic disadvantage.
This may be achieved, for example, through completing a full Equality Impact Needs Assessment/Impact Assessment or other form of options/project management appraisal that achieves the same objective.
Detailed Impact Assessments are carried out on larger schemes where required and included with Cabinet and HATOC reports.
9. Legal Considerations
There are no specific legal considerations with regard to this report. Where relevant these are considered in reports on individual schemes.
10. Risk Management Considerations
This programme has been assessed and all necessary safeguards or actions have been taken to safeguard the Council's position. The overall programme includes a degree of over programming to allow for slippage. Contingency allowances are built into scheme cost estimates and bid proposals to minimise the risk of scheme costs increasing over the available budget. These are increased for complex projects. Contingency levels are constantly being reviewed in the light of experience locally and nationally.
11. Public Health Impact
The considerable investment in walking, cycling and public transport in the programme will continue to support further increases in their usage and levels of physical activity. This is particularly focussed on encouraging regular trips such as journeys to school and work.
Many of the schemes in the programme contribute to Air Quality Management Plans developed in partnership with District Councils.
Specific public health impacts associated with individual schemes are considered in relevant HATOC and Cabinet reports.
12. Options/Alternatives
The 2015/16 and 2016/17 programme has been designed taking into account committed schemes, the availability of funding sources (particularly the need to match external sources), the 2011-2026 Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan and the Cycling and Multi use Trail Network Strategy. Detailed timings of schemes are linked to the cost, availability of match funding and deliverability as well as growth strategies in Local Plans.
13. Reason for Recommendation/Conclusion
The programme in this report uses the limited direct funding available to the County Council effectively by using match funding from external sources as much as possible. It meets the Council's priorities in the Strategic Plan by focussing priorities on economic growth and physical health.

Transport Capital Programme 2015/16 and 2016/17
Report of Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment
|
Recommendation:
(a) approval is given to enhance the Place 2015/16 capital programme by 0.613 million from developer and external contributions and 0.391 million from external grants; approval is also given to enhance the 2016/17 capital budget by 3.654 million from developer and external contributions;
(b) that the approval of the detailed Local Transport Plan (LTP) Integrated Block funded schemes programme, is delegated to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management and Flood Prevention and Head of Planning, Transportation and Environment in consultation with local members;
(c) current approved budgets are allocated to the LTP schemes set out in this report;
(d) of the enhancements above, 3.873 million is forward funded to enable schemes to proceed in advance of the funding being received.
1. Summary
This report seeks approval to a revised capital programme for 2015/16 and 2016/17. It also seeks to provide an update of progress on other transport schemes.
2. Background
Cabinet approved the current 2015/16 transport capital programme in September 2014. This was updated by Cabinet in February 2015, as part of the Medium Term Capital Programme (MTCP). Since then there have been a number of changes to scheme costs and delivery timescales and the opportunity has been taken to refresh the full programme alongside proposals for 2016/17. The appendices reflect revised projected costs, which means that in some instances this differs from the current approved capital programme budgets, particularly where slippage has occurred.
A number of schemes will continue delivery into 2016/17 and an early confirmed budget aids forward planning of budgets and scheme design with partners. The County Council's own budgets for transport capital schemes remain extremely limited compared to previous years, including the continued lower level of Integrated Block funding from Government (approximately 1/3 of its value in 2009) due to the diversion of funds into the Growth Deal process. Every County Council pound must therefore be used effectively and in many cases this is done by using this to match to external funding bids, often in conjunction with contributions from other partners such as developers, District Councils, Local Enterprise Partnership and Government initiatives. Whilst external funding opportunities are anticipated as far as possible, many are inevitably made available or detailed criteria confirmed at relatively short notice. The programme will therefore need to be flexible to accommodate this.
In February this year Cabinet approved an additional allocation of corporate funds to support the development and match funding of major schemes. These funds covered the period 2015/16 to 2020/21 but can be used flexibly in response to circumstances and opportunities.
The County Council is also working with district councils to ensure that adequate match funding for transport schemes is made available through Section 106 agreements, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or other sources. This has to be balanced with other infrastructure demands such as education and affordable housing. Similarly town and parish councils with adopted Neighbourhood Plans in districts with an adopted CIL will receive 25% of the CIL receipts in their area. There may be opportunities to work with these authorities to achieve other smaller scale infrastructure of high local priority such as walking and cycling routes.
In this summer's Budget the Chancellor announced a sum of 3m for Devon County and Cornwall Councils to support the preparation of the A361 North Devon Link and A391 major schemes. This is in addition to the DCC corporate funding agreed by Cabinet in February. It is not yet clear how much of the Government funding will be available to Devon, over what period and the conditions attached to it. The funding will be added to the capital programme when this is confirmed. The Summer Budget also included references to new rounds of the New Stations Fund and Coastal Communities Fund. Detailed criteria, budget levels and timescales for these funds are not yet available but opportunities to bid for these will be explored at the appropriate time.
The Heart of SW LEP has launched an Expression of Interest stage for an anticipated third round of Government Growth Deal funding. The County Council has successfully secured funds for a number of schemes through rounds 1 and 2 and will be submitting Expressions of Interest through the Local Transport Board (see Appendix I). Government is yet to publish detailed criteria and timescales for round 3 but it is not expected that funding for individual schemes will be confirmed until February/March 2016 at the earliest. Local match funding is an important element of Growth Deal bids provision will need to be made from S106 agreements, CIL, Local Transport Plan Integrated Block and the authority's own corporate funds specifically set aside for the purpose and included in February's capital programme Cabinet report.
3. Proposal
2015/16 Programme
The 2015/16 programme was heavily constrained by commitments from 2014/15 including match funding requirements for externally funded schemes, e.g. Granite and Gears and Local Pinch Point Fund. This limited the scope for new scheme starts, particularly smaller local schemes.
The South Devon Link Road and Tithebarn Link Road Phase 1 will be substantially completed in 2015/16. In addition, a number of schemes have been completed including the Crediton Link Road, Decoy Industrial Estate Access Road, Exeter Airport Link Road, Roundswell Roundabout, Holsworthy Agri Centre junction and numerous improvements to the Dartmoor Cycling and Multi-Use Trail network.
In addition to progress with design and procurement processes for Growth Deal 1 (schemes listed in Appendix I), funding from developer contributions has been used to progress design and submit a reserved matters application for the Tithebarn Link Road Phase 2, which links Science Park Drive (north) to the old A30 near Blackhorse. The scheme is expected to start construction during 2015/16. Design and planning work is also continuing with the Tiverton Eastern Urban Extension (EUE) access, A382 widening (Newton Abbot) and South West Exeter infrastructure.
Design and consultation work is also progressing on the A30/A303 and A361 North Devon Link Road major schemes using the corporate funding budgets agreed by Cabinet in February. As noted above this is expected to be matched by further Government design funding for the A361, which was announced in the Summer Budget. The North Devon Link Road is expected to be the subject of a Growth Deal bid through the LEP in future years beyond 2020 and discussions are ongoing with Highways England regarding the funding of the A30/A303 improvements with the potential for inclusion in the next tranche of Government funded Road Infrastructure.
The major investment in the Devon Metro rail network continues to progress. Newcourt station was opened in June 2015 with part funding from the New Stations Fund. Cranbrook station is expected to follow by the end of 2015. Construction work is expected to start on Marsh Barton rail station in January 2016, with completion aimed for 2017.
Further investment is being made in public transport through the countywide bus real time information project. This is expected to go live through web and smartphone app access in the autumn of 2015. A limited number of on-street displays will be installed during the same period. Bus priority at key traffic signal junctions, linked to the real time database, will be introduced progressively through 2016/17.
2016/17 Programme
The 2016/17 programme is able to accommodate some new scheme starts and is proposed to be built around the following priorities for the Integrated Block element:
- Design and preparation work on schemes for external funding bids including purchase of land where required;
- Match funding of external schemes; and
- Investment in walking and cycling facilities for access to school and employment with a particular focus on the main growth areas of Exeter, Barnstaple and Newton Abbot.
The Integrated Block is the primary source of funding to develop schemes ready for the external funding bids upon which the County Council is increasingly reliant. This includes the statutory processes and the purchase of land, which are essential for demonstrating scheme deliverability and must be carried out when opportunities arise or ongoing negotiations are completed.
Devon has a strong track record of delivering improved walking and cycling facilities. The Cycling and Multi-use Trail Network Strategy agreed by Cabinet in March 2015 sets out the high level priorities for investment in cycling. A combination of residual corporate funding and new external funds such as Coastal Communities Fund enables a number of existing projects to continue. It is proposed that Integrated Block funding is focussed on a limited number of high value interventions in 2016/17 including:
- Planning and design of priority routes to support external funding bids;
- Continuing the programme of investment in cycle parking in market and coastal towns with match funding from local communities;
- Continuing the programme of cycle parking at schools where suitable routes are in place;
- Small scale route interventions to support walking and cycling to schools with match funding from local communities; and
The investment outlined above adds value to existing investment in routes by ensuring that current and potential users have suitable facilities from door to door.
Three major new sections of cycle route are planned in 2016/17, two of which build on the opening of the South Devon Highway and the completion of the Decoy Industrial Estate access road/cycleway. The two sections of route at Kingskerswell will complete the route between Newton Abbot and the Torbay border. Torbay Council is continuing to invest in routes within its area to build on this investment. The successful Coastal Communities Fund bid will enable the extension of the Exe Estuary Trail into Dawlish town centre and improvement of the existing route through Dawlish Warren, the first stages of which will be implemented in 2015/16.
Design work and land assembly continues on many parts of the Strategic Cycle Network into 2016/17 including the Wray Valley Trail (including new construction), Tarka Trail, Teign Estuary, Ruby Way and Drakes Trails. Bids for further external funding for construction including Growth Deal are being prepared.
A 100,000 budget has also been included to enable community-led, minor schemes that meet local priorities and are supported by match funding.
4. Consultations/Representations
The overall investment strategy in this report is based on the principles Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan 2011-2026 which included a wide range of consultations with stakeholders and the public. In addition the schemes can also be cross referenced to the Transport Infrastructure Plan. The strategic direction of investment programmes is also driven by the wider spatial strategies developed through individual District Local Plans, all of which are the subject of extensive local consultation. Detailed programmes are also influenced by the requirements and priorities of funding partners such as the LEP and the Government.
Local consultations take place on individual schemes as they progress including planning permission where relevant.
5. Financial Considerations
The package of schemes in this report totals 72.628million ( 45.037m 15/16 & 27.591m 16/17). This includes significant S106 contributions from developers. Some of these have already been incorporated into the capital programme but it is recommended that it is further enhanced with the following:
| Funding Source/Scheme 000 | 2015/16 | 2016/17 | Total |
| External and Developer contributions | 613 | 3,654 | 4,267 |
| Grants | 391 | 0 | 391 |
The development of schemes is increasingly reliant on using external funding for design and land purchase as well as construction. Whilst included in legal agreements, the actual receipt of funds may be some time in the future. It is therefore recommended that expected external funds are forward funded where it is necessary, to enable successful funding packages. The use of forward funding will assist the earliest delivery of schemes in advance of the receipt of external contributions. The risk of delays or not receiving these receipts will be monitored to ensure there is no impact upon the delivery of the MTCP in future years.
6. Environmental Impact Considerations
An Environmental Impact Assessment was carried out for the overall strategy contained in the Devon and Torbay Local Transport plan 2011-2026. The environmental impacts of individual schemes are detailed in Cabinet or Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (HATOC) reports where relevant.
7. Equality Considerations
Where relevant to the decision, the Equality Act 2010 Public Sector Equality Duty requires decision makers to give due regard to the need to:
eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other prohibited conduct;
advance equality by encouraging participation, removing disadvantage, taking account of disabilities and meeting people's needs; and
foster good relations between people by tackling prejudice and promoting understanding.
Taking account of age, disability, race/ethnicity (includes Gypsies and Travellers), gender and gender identity, religion and belief, sexual orientation, pregnant women/new and breastfeeding mothers, marriage/civil partnership status in coming to a decision, a decision maker may also consider other relevant factors such as caring responsibilities, rural isolation or socio-economic disadvantage.
This may be achieved, for example, through completing a full Equality Impact Needs Assessment/Impact Assessment or other form of options/project management appraisal that achieves the same objective.
Detailed Impact Assessments are carried out on larger schemes where required and included with Cabinet and HATOC reports.
8. Legal Considerations
There are no specific legal considerations with regard to this report. Where relevant these are considered in reports on individual schemes.
9. Risk Management Considerations
This programme has been assessed and all necessary safeguards or actions have been taken to safeguard the Council's position. The overall programme includes a degree of over programming to allow for slippage. Contingency allowances are built into scheme cost estimates and bid proposals to minimise the risk of scheme costs increasing over the available budget. These are increased for complex projects. Contingency levels are constantly being reviewed in the light of experience locally and nationally.
10. Public Health Impact
The considerable investment in walking, cycling and public transport in the programme will continue to support further increases in their usage and levels of physical activity. This is particularly focussed on encouraging regular trips such as journeys to school and work.
Many of the schemes in the programme contribute to Air Quality Management Plans developed in partnership with District Councils.
Specific public health impacts associated with individual schemes are considered in relevant HATOC and Cabinet reports.
11. Options/Alternatives
The 2015/16 and 2016/17 programme has been designed taking into account committed schemes, the availability of funding sources, the 2011-2026 Devon and Torbay Local Transport Plan and the Cycling and Multi-use Trail Network Strategy. Detailed timings of schemes are linked to the cost, availability of match funding and deliverability as well as growth strategies in Local Plans.
12. Reason for Recommendation/Conclusion
The programme in this report uses the limited direct funding available to the County Council effectively by using match funding from external sources as much as possible. It meets the Council's priorities in the Strategic Plan by focussing priorities on economic growth and physical health.
