Simon Ridley
Chief Executive, The Planning Inspectorate
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
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
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
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
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
Now nearly 60% of strategic local plans are adopted
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
The Planning Inspectorate has record numbers of plans at examination
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
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
Presentation to Solace Summit 2014
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

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

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

Continuing momentum...
• 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
Capitalising on our asset base...

Strategic Project B: LCR Freight & Logistics Hub

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

JOBS TO BE ENABLED AT KEY SITES
Put in place the right structures (for you)...
32
• 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?
Structures are complex...
33
Our LEP...working with a CA
• 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
‘Best in class’ institutional fix? Binding collaborative working in the City Region
34
Make sure you deliver...
35
Delivery is key
• 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
