APSE Facilitated Local Authority Energy Collaboration APSE Facilitated Local Authority Energy Collaboration In October 2011 Cllr Richard Williams (former Leader of Southampton City Council and APSE South/South West Regional Chair), chaired a meeting of APSE’s Association for Public Service Excellence Environment and Sustainability Strategic Forum which was held at Balliol College Oxford. This meeting was attended by senior elected members and officers from a number of APSE member authorities, together with representatives from the energy industry, the LGA and other partner organisations. The main focus of the meeting was to consider the opportunities for collaborative working between councils on the energy agenda and the raising of finance to fund local renewable energy and energy efficiency schemes. The meeting has been the catalyst for wider interest in developing a collaboration approach to enable the financing, procuring and developing of green energy projects as well as the development of a hub of Local Authorities providing and accessing support, guidance and expertise. Since the start of 2013, structure has begun to be put on the general concept of collaborative working in this agenda. A core group of local authorities have formed a project team developing the ideas, direction, and structure and finance model for this collaboration. A full business proposal is in the process of being produced and will be sent to Local Authorities involved in September 2013 to consider. The vision for this APSE facilitated Local Authority Energy Collaboration is: • To deliver the local municipalisation of energy services. By this we mean the public and community, as well as private, ownership and managerial control of local energy generation, distribution networks and delivery of energy efficiency works. The outcomes of this APSE facilitated Local Authority Energy Collaboration are: • To save money and make money for local authorities; • To address social objective and deliver community benefits such as reduction of fuel poverty, increase in local jobs and skills and investing money locally. This APSE facilitated Local Authority Energy Collaboration will deliver: • Smart clienting in Local Authorities through provision of a range of skills, expertise and research services; • Negotiation and influence power through the provision of a range of marketing, profile raising and lobbying services; • Infrastructure projects including renewable micro generation schemes, energy efficiency works, energy networks, in addition to supporting demonstrator projects/test schemes. Local authorities involved in the core group include: Southampton City Council; Swindon Borough Council; Reading Borough Council; Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council; Northamptonshire County Council; Plymouth City Council; Oxford City Council; Hampshire County Council; Eastleigh Borough Council; Cornwall Council; Portsmouth City Council; Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council Local authorities who are engaged in the wider communication on this project include: London Borough of Harrow; Milton Keynes Borough Council; Chesterfield Borough Council; York City Council; West Lindsay District Council; Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council; Aberdeen City Council; Chelmsford City Council; Preston City Council; Derbyshire County Council; Swansea City and County Council; Warwickshire County Council; Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council; Glasgow City Council. There is currently a requirement for local authorities to be an APSE member to be involved in this collaboration. The ‘Public Energy’ collaboration is being project managed by Helen Burkhalter, APSE Principal Advisor for Southern England. For further information please contact: [email protected]; 01865 749365 .

In this regard the SCAAP contains proposals for ‘Policy Areas’ and ‘Opportunity Sites’ aimed at strengthening and transforming Southend Town Centre’s sub-regional role as a successful retail and commercial destination, cultural hub and educational centre of excellence, leisure and tourist attraction and an excellent place to live. We understand that there has been much public consultation on the issues and principles underlying the policies in the SCAAP which has helped inform the Revised Proposed Submission version. 1.3 The Council commissioned BNP Paribas Real Estate to prepare a Combined Policy Viability Study in 2013 (CPVS), which formed part of the evidence base informing the Council’s draft Development Management and SCAAP DPDs. The Development Management DPD was adopted in July 2015. This note provides an update on the market position within the Borough and an analysis of the impact this will have on viability. This note also provides an update as to the changes to policies which are considered to have a cost impact on development.
