Briefing Paper to the Economic Development & Regeneration Overview & Scrutiny Committee Wards:

15 September 2014

Economy & Regeneration Landscape in the

Briefing Paper of the City Regeneration and Policy Manager.

1. Introduction

1.1 The coalition government from May 2010 made it clear that it would abolish Regional Development Agencies (e.g. Forward) and replace them with „bottom-up‟ local enterprise partnerships (LEPs). As LEPs were being set up the Government also began to create a range of new initiatives and funding streams for economic regeneration.

1.2 The Humber LEP, comprising the four local authorities in the Humber was formally recognised by Government in July 2011. Since that time the LEP has grown – both in terms of its organisation and structure and in terms of the amount of economic development funding which is now channelled through it by central Government.

1.3 Key points to note about LEPs are that they do not have statutory status and they are private-sector led. LEPs have a great deal of discretion in how their membership is composed, though they must be chaired by a business person and at least half of their members must be from the private sector.1 (Appendix 1 Provides information on the membership of the Humber LEP and its sub boards. The attached Appendix 4 - Organogram indicates the range of partners involved)

1.4 Thus LEPs are voluntary, business-led partnerships “between local businesses and local government and other key players …to take a strategic view on how best to deliver growth and jobs in their areas. They are not accountable formally constituted bodies”.2 Consequently, the LEP requires an accountable body to enter into contractual relationships and receive funding from Government. Hull City Council is the accountable body for the majority of the Humber LEPs activities.

1.5 The role and scope of all LEPs, including the Humber LEP is set to increase. This was signalled by the development of the “Local Growth Fund”, under which the Government has committed to „devolving‟ more central Government department

1 funding to LEPs. It is worth noting both major political parties have publicly committed themselves to increasing the amount of central government funding channelled through LEPs.

1.6 It should also be noted that a number of local authorities are members of more than one LEP. Of the four local authorities in the Humber LEP three are members of other local authorities;

- is a member of the , North Yorkshire and East Riding LEP - Council and Council are members of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP.

1.7 There is widespread agreement that the development of LEPs has been incremental, often piecemeal and lacking a fully thought through and coherent approach across government departments.3 The National Audit Office (NAO) in its 2013 report concluded that the Government‟s aim of achieving an orderly transition from Regional Development Agencies to the new delivery landscape had not been achieved.”4

2 The growing role of LEPs

2.1 A major milestone in the development of LEPs was reached with the publication of the „Heseltine Report‟. In March 2012, the Government commissioned Lord Heseltine to produce a report to the Chancellor and Secretary of State for Business with ideas to stimulate economic growth at a local level. His report No Stone Unturned was published in October 2012 and made 89 recommendations for economic growth and wealth creation.5

2.2 One of Lord Heseltine‟s recommendations was that there should be greater devolution of funding from central government to LEPs, so that government investment in economic development “is tailored directly to the individual challenges and opportunities of local communities” and “can be augmented by private sector investment”.6

2.3 In response to the Heseltine report, the Government‟s Autumn Statement 20127 included the following LEP related policies and recommendations:

LEPs were to be asked to develop new strategic plans for local growth and the government would create a single funding pot for local areas from April 20158

2.4 The Heseltine Report also recommended that most funding for business support “should be devolved to LEPs to spend in accordance with their individual economic strategies“. Some reservations were expressed by the Business Secretary, Vince

2 Cable, who has argued that big decisions on funding must be administered from Whitehall on the basis that some LEPs had very small numbers of business people on their boards, were not publicly accountable and unsuited to manage large amounts of money.9

2.5 Strategic Economic Plans: The 2013 Spending Review clarified aspects of the 2012 Autumn Statement and asked LEPs to prepare multi-year strategic economic plans, which would be used for negotiations on „Growth Deals‟ with the Government. These Strategic Economic Plans would also be used as the basis for allocations from the £2 billion a year Single Local Growth Fund that was created in the Spending Review.10 Lord Heseltine‟s report was clearly a major catalyst for the enhancement of the role of LEPs and one of the first manifestations of this enhanced role was the announcement in late 2012 that LEPs would be given responsibility for delivering a large part of the new round of European Structural and Investment Funds for 2014-2020

3 Funding and initiatives for economic development and regeneration:

3.1 There are (currently) six major economic initiatives and funding streams which are (or will be) channelled through LEPs:

i. Regional Growth Fund ii. Enterprise Zones iii. The Growing Places Fund iv. City Deals v. EU Structural and Investment Funds vi. Growth Deals (Local Growth Fund)

3.2 Regional Growth Fund - The purpose of RGF was originally described as being “to help areas and communities at risk of being particularly affected by public spending cuts”11 Guidance from BIS provided more detail and specified that the objective of RGF is “to stimulate private sector investment by providing support for projects that offer significant potential for long term economic growth and the creation of additional sustainable private sector jobs”.12 The first round of the Regional Growth Fund was announced in June 2010, subsequently the Government has launched a further five rounds of RGF. Rounds 1-4 were open to both public and private sector organisations. LEPs were eligible to apply for funding from the first four rounds but did not receive preferential treatment in the bidding process. LEPs were not allowed to bid into Round 5 and 6 of the RGF (these were specifically for private-sector companies).

3.3 A Round 1 RGF bid by the City Council and partner Keepmoat secured £8m of grant funding to unlock £118m of private sector investment in the City‟s housing market.

3.4 Hull and East Riding Councils had previously successfully bid into Round 2 of RGF and created a £27m “Green Port Growth Programme” to assist businesses to develop a local supply chain for the renewables industry in Hull and East

3 Yorkshire.13 To date, across Hull and East Riding, the Green Port Growth Programme has invested £2.167m RGF which has levered in an additional private sector contribution of almost £1.5m and a further £1m+ from the public sector. At June 2014, the Programme had been responsible for creating 245 additional new jobs in Hull and East Riding; funded over 240 new higher level apprenticeships through its innovative employer-led skills strand and has supported more than 50 businesses to undertake business audits, as well as providing small amounts of capital funding for expansion projects.

3.5 The Humber LEP successfully bid into Round 3 of the RGF and this has produced a “Growing the Humber” programme worth £30m which is designed to help grow businesses in the Humber area. (£7m of this funding is ring-fenced to support the renewables industry in North and North East Lincolnshire).14 This programme started in February 2013 and Hull companies have successfully accessed £8m (including pipeline projects).

3.6 Enterprise Zones - The Government announced at the 2011 Budget that a new wave of Enterprise Zones (EZs) were to be created. This is a long term programme intended to enable LEPs to attract investment and jobs through a range of incentives including;

business rate relief a simplified planning process superfast broadband enhanced capital allowances access to local Regional Growth fund allocations access to skills and experience in related sectors including maritime and engineering sites big enough for the assembly of large structures

3.7 There are currently 24 Enterprise Zones in England.15The Humber LEP has two Enterprise Zones which cover 484 hectares;

i. The Humber Renewable Energy Super Cluster (The 1st Enterprise Zone) and ii. The Humber Green Port Corridor (The 2nd Enterprise Zone)

3.8 The first Humber Enterprise Zone was gained in competitive circumstances in August 2011 and the second arose from the Chancellor‟s invitation in October 2011 to the Humber LEP to submit proposals for an additional EZ following the announcement of the ending of manufacturing at BAE Systems in Brough. Appendix 2 contains information on the Humber‟s EZ sites.

3.9 Growing Places Fund 16 - The Government announced a £500m Growing Places Fund in November 2011. The Fund, operating as a loan fund, is designed to tackle immediate infrastructure investment constraints, with a focus on housing and transport. Each LEP was given an indicative allocation and the Humber LEP was awarded £5,816,714.17

3.10 Other local LEP allocations were:

LEP £ York and North Yorkshire 6,217,647 Leeds City Region 23,991,391 Humber 5,816,714 Sheffield City Region 12,307,688 Lincolnshire 6,493,608

3.11 The Government‟s Growing Places Fund Prospectus made it clear that decisions on the use of the money (and returns on investment that are then recycled into further investment) will be made locally.

3.12 The Humber LEP has an Investment Panel which considers applications to this Fund (This panel has now been subsumed into the Humber LEPs Business Development Board). Hull City Council acts as accountable body for the fund and secures independent due diligence on each project.

3.13 City Deals - As part of its devolutionary approach, the Government announced the introduction of „City Deals‟ - agreements between central government and individual cities (or LEP areas) that aim to give new powers, freedoms and funding mechanisms to local decision-makers. The first wave of City Deals was launched in summer 2012 among the eight largest cities outside London. In October 2012, a further 20 cities were invited to submit bids for City Deals. The Hull and Humber City Deal was signed in December 2013.18

3.14 The Hull and Humber City Deal addresses skills issues, business and innovation support and the development of a Humber Spatial Plan to accelerate major economic development.19

i. Skills

Humber Centre of Excellence for Energy Skills: 5 Humber colleges will work together to improve their facilities using £1.245m skills capital funding matched by £1.9m from local colleges.

The Government will support an additional 1,500 adults to take up relevant courses over 3 years, with additional people qualified to NVQ Level 3.

The Humber will be the national pilot of a payment by results programme that will incentivise training providers for helping people into work.

In order to target youth unemployment, a „Springboard Programme‟ will be introduced to encourage increased investment in skills by local employers through a „Humber Skills Fund‟. Careers advice will be improved through a Humber Careers Hub. This has seen a £5.5m commitment from the Government.

18 Hull and Humber City Deal, December 2013 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/265969/Hull___Humber_City_Deal_document.p df

19 For example, the City Deal will deliver funding for the LEPs „Growth Hub‟ programme, engaging with up to 3,000 businesses and providing intensive support to 500. This involves a £2.5m commitment by the Government.

5 ii. Business Innovation and Support

The City Deal will deliver funding for the Humber LEPs Growth Hub programme, engaging up to 3,000 businesses and providing intensive support to 500 creating 400 jobs. This has seen £2.5m committed by the Government (via the Lancaster University-administered Regional Growth Fund Round 4).

iii. Accelerated Development

The City Deal contains a commitment from Government Agencies (including the Environment Agency) to support the development of a „Humber Spatial Plan, with an accompanying mitigation / compensation plan, together with the creation of a Humber Environmental Data Observatory. The purpose of this is to reduce the time and costs for investors seeking to come to the Humber sub region by streamlining processes, whilst at the same time, ensuring the sustainable development of the Estuary.

3.15 The 2014-2020 EU Structural and Investment Funds - In April 2013, LEPs were asked to begin preparing EU Structural and Investment Fund Strategies, with final drafts for March 2014. In June 2013, the Government published indicative EU funding allocations for each LEP. The Humber LEP received an indicative allocation of €102.4m (approx. £87.67m).

3.16 The Humber LEPs European Structural and Investment Funds Strategy was submitted to Government in March 2014.20 In summary, the Programme has the following elements and allocations:

Strategic Summary ERDF or Programme ESF allocation The SME Growth A comprehensive package of support to build the £27.76m & Innovation growth capabilities of SMEs, to foster a more ERDF Programme entrepreneurial culture, stimulate innovation and build the market in low carbon goods and services The Skills A programme to support the skills development of £28.34m Programme Humber residents at all levels, form access to ESF employment and the sustainable integration of young people, to technical and higher level skills and leadership and management The Sustainable A programme to support active inclusion through the £7.11m Communities and use of local initiatives to address persistent pockets ESF Innovation of poverty and to tackle barriers to work, allowing all Programme adults to play an active role in the labour market The Climate A programme to stimulate economic development £20.13m Change and through further investment in flood and coastal risk ERDF Environmental management, alongside energy efficiency Protection improvements to social homes in the areas of Programme greatest need The Infrastructure A programme to support improvements to the £4.42m Programme transport infrastructure to facilitate economic growth, ERDF to protect the environment while continuing to support the economy and to support businesses to achieve resource efficiency improvements

3.17 Governance and accountability arrangements for the 2014-2020 EU programme are still being discussed (at national and local level). The next step (September 2014) is for the Humber LEP to create a “Humber Area European Structural and Investment Fund Committee”, according to rules and guidance laid down by the Commission and the UK Government. The Humber LEP expects that priorities for EU funding will be driven through the LEPs sub boards (see Appendix 1 for membership of these sub boards).

3.18 In addition to the Structural Funds awarded to the Humber, Hull City Council successfully lobbied the UK Government to secure a share of the EU Youth Employment Initiative. In April 2014, the Government announced that Hull will be one of the areas in England to benefit from this initiative, with an award of £3.7m. 21 This funding will be matched with a mixture of European Social Funding and other funds to provide a total pot of c£9.5m which will need to be spent by March 2018. Discussions are in progress with partners regarding the activities that can be funded.

3.19 Growth Deals (Local Growth Fund) - The Local Growth Fund is part of the Government‟s response to the Heseltine Review and is a £2bn a year fund to support local economic growth. The Local Growth Fund (LGF) is allocated to LEPs through competitive „Growth Deals‟, which (in the style of City Deals) can also include the devolution of some „freedoms and flexibilities. The initial £2bn single „pot‟ is made up from a variety of central government funding departments, notably the Department for Transport and the Department for Communities and Local Government.

3.20 As part of the process for gaining access to the Local Growth Fund, the Humber LEP completed a ‟Strategic Economic Plan, accompanied by an Investment Plan. These were submitted to Government in March 2014.22 The total investment in the Humber through the Local Growth Fund is £104m, with £88m of that being new money. £29m of this falls in 2015/16, with the remainder coming in 2016/17 onwards. It is expected that a „2nd round‟ of bidding into the Local Growth Fund will take place in September-November 2014, with announcements of successful bids being made early in 2015.

3.21 On 7 July 2014, the Government announced the first Growth Deals for all of England‟s 39 LEPs. ”Subject to a satisfactory conclusion of the funding agreement”, the Humber Growth Deal23 will focus on four key priority areas identified in the Humber LEPs Strategic Economic Plan:

Creating the infrastructure that supports growth, including transport and housing; Supporting businesses to succeed; Creating a skilled and productive workforce; Stimulating economic development through further investment in flood and coastal risk management.

3.23 Two „freedoms and flexibilities‟ are being negotiated, under the Humber Growth Deal, these relate to:

Flooding – longer term certainty over funding and devolution of decision-making; Job Seekers Allowance - pilots to enable JSA claimants to undertake more than 16 hours of training per week without losing benefits.

3.24 As part of the Growth Deal, the Government requires the Humber LEP to;

Strengthen governance; Ensure implementation and demonstrate success; Communicate the ongoing outputs and outcomes of the deals to the local communities and stakeholders; and Ensure good value for money where local flexibility exists.

24 Under the Growth Deal, the Government has committed to investing £7.5m in the Hull to East Coast Main Line Rail Electrification, with a commitment to £1.5m in 2015/16. A provisional allocation to the project has been awarded to support the project starting in 2016/17. Both the 2015/16 commitment and the provisional allocation in 2016/17 are subject to the outcome of the DfT feasibility study, agreement on a funding package and funding mechanism, and DfT / network rail agreement to the final business case. The LEP has committed, with the accountable body Hull City Council, to seek to agree a repayable loan as the discounted Public Works Loan Board project rate of c £20m for the Hull to East Coast Main Line Rail Electrification, subject to the outcome of the DfT funded feasibility study, agreement of other third party funding and DfT/ network rail agreement to the final business case. 25 Anlaby and , River Hull Cottingham and Orchard Park, River Hull Delivery.

8 4 Summary / Key Points

4.1 From being fairly narrowly conceived vehicles for the support of business-led / oriented development LEPs are taking on the broader remit which the Regional Development Agencies had (including, for example, housing matters and community-led economic development). The role of LEPs appears set to carry on expanding, especially in terms of the amount of central Government funding they will control. The current Government and the Labour Party have both indicated that more central Government funding will be channelled through LEPs in future.

4.2 On representation, the membership of the Humber LEP (main) Board is growing (an additional 5 Board members were announced in July 2014). Original recommendations from Government / Heseltine were that LEP Boards should have 50-50 private/ public representation, with a private sector chair. The Humber LEP now has one of the largest Board memberships amongst England 39 LEPs.26 In addition the private sector membership of the Humber LEP is amongst the highest of any of the 39 LEP Boards. See Appendix 3: LEP Boards Membership: Public/Private/ No. of LAs / Populations

4.3 Each of England‟s LEP areas is likely to develop at a different pace, and given the likelihood that further devolution of funding and responsibilities will continue, it is clear that ensuring that there is an efficient and productive partnership in a given LEP area will be a key factor in those areas ability to access funding and the freedoms and flexibilities to decide how such funding should be spent locally.
