Reasons for Lateness The Clean Air Zone programme is extremely complex and has involved a great deal of ongoing iterative dialogue with Government. This has resulted in late revisions to the economic and financial work which have been required to be reflected in the detailed modelling. Further there is a need for detailed due diligence in order to ensure the final documents are as robust and accurate as possible prior to submission to Cabinet and Government.

The proposed CAZ has previously been discussed by the Cabinet and approval was granted to consult on a CAZ (June 27th 2018) and to submit a Preferred Option Business Case (POBC) (September 10th 2018) to Government. 1.2 Upon approval of this report the City Council will proceed to appoint contractors and agree a Target Cost for the main civil engineering works, enabling the submission of a firmed up project cost to Government, anticipated to be in January/February 2019. The City Council will also proceed with the drafting of a Charging Order for the Clean Air Zone and the appointment of the necessary staff (subject to further approvals) to manage the implementation and operation of the CAZ. 1.3 Appendix A of this report, the Government Full Business Case (GFBC) provides an indication of the funding and funding profile required and to be requested for the implementation of a CAZ D plus Additional Measures and Mitigation Measures and Exemptions. The final estimated costs and profile are to be agreed following the conclusion of the procurement process and agreement of a Target Cost for the main civil engineering works. The current estimate of total project cost is £68.706m. The cost of the CAZ programme is to be funded via a funding grant which will be provided by Government. This grant will be made up of a combination of revenue and capital; split between revenue and capital to be confirmed in the final funding request. 1.4 The City Council’s governance process requires an Options Appraisal (OA) report to be submitted for approval by the Cabinet which sets out the options available for the delivery of a project and requests approval to proceed with project development. Appendix B of this report is the OA for the CAZ Programme. This report seeks approval to the OA and the Recommended Option, CAZ D plus Additional Measures, and to proceed with project development in line with Appendix B. 1.5 Approval is also requested for the release of interim development funding from the Transportation & Highways Capital Budget at a total value of £0.440m. This funding is required to enable progress with elements of the programme to GFBC stage, in advance of the receipt of grant funding from Government and will be repaid following the submission of the final funding request and subsequent receipt of grant, anticipated to be March 2019. 1.6 It is estimated that a core team of 10 staff will be required to manage and administer the CAZ on an ongoing basis, including mitigation measures and exemptions with the size peaking at 27 during mid-2019. A subsequent report and business case will be submitted for approval when the staffing requirements have been finalised, in line with Recommendation 2.12. The purpose of this team is to manage and administrate the mitigation measures and exemptions, funding for this will be via a Government grant and is included in the funding request being made in the GFBC.
