The attached briefing paper describes the rationale behind the four priorities, and the progress with them since the signing of the Devolution Deal. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Members of the Committee note the contents of the briefing paper. DETAIL 1. The Independent Economic Review, commissioned by Transport for the North (TfN) and due for publication imminently, defines three growth scenarios for the north of England. Across the North, the “Transformational” scenario would see a 5% increase in employment, an 8% increase in population, and a 15% increase in GVA. For the Tees Valley, “Transformational” means 25,000 new jobs, 23,000 new homes and a £1 billion increase in GVA. These numbers are embedded in the refreshed Strategic Economic Plan (SEP), and represent the levels of growth that our future transport network needs to accommodate. 2. The Tees Valley Devolution Deal, signed in October 2015, included four strategic priorities for transport investment, and these have been re-iterated in the refreshed SEP. The four priorities are: • Darlington station to be HS2 ready, with new platforms and links to adjacent developments; • An additional crossing of the River Tees; • Improved east-west road connectivity from the A1(M) to the international gateway at Teesport; and • Electrification of the Northallerton to Teesport rail line to improve freight to Teesport and passenger services to Middlesbrough. 1 3. All of the four priorities offer pan-Northern benefits and deliver better connectivity between the North’s key economic assets. Indeed, the Devolution Deal also included the statement that the Government committed “to facilitate to ensure key strategic infrastructure projects are considered as part of the development of the Northern Transport Strategy”. 4. Since the signing of the Devolution Deal, we have been working with TfN to understand where the priorities are likely to sit within the development of a Northern Transport Strategy (NTS) by March 2017, and to ensure that the role of the Tees Valley in building the Northern Powerhouse is fully understand and recognised. 5. We will be playing a full and active part in each of the TfN work programmes over the next nine months leading to the publication of the investment plan that will form the basis of the NTS in March 2017. The Tees Valley is a city region and can add to the NTS in own right, adding value to the original core city principles set out in the One North report. 6. The attached briefing paper is intended to provide Members with an overview of the economic rationale behind the four strategic transport priorities and provide an update on their progress. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no direct financial implications related to the four strategic transport priorities, as their delivery are likely to involve investment by Government and national agencies. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS None. RISK ASSESSMENT Existing management systems and daily routine activities are sufficient to control and reduce risk associated with the development of the four strategic transport priorities. CONSULTATION Consultation on the four strategic transport priorities has taken place throughout the development of the draft SEP refresh with stakeholders across the public, private, voluntary and community sectors. There will be individual public consultation exercises associated with each of the priorities at the appropriate point in the development of the schemes. Name of Contact Officer: Jonathan Spruce Post Title: Interim Director of Transport & Infrastructure Telephone No. 07505 052620 Email Address: [email protected] 2 Tees Valley Strategic Transport Priorities Briefing 1. Economic Rationale 1.1 The Independent Economic Review, commissioned by Transport for the North (TfN) and due for publication imminently, defines three growth scenarios for the north of England, characterised by the graph below. 1.2 Across the North, the “Transformational” scenario would see a 5% increase in employment, an 8% increase in population, and a 15% increase in GVA. For the Tees Valley, “Transformational” means 25,000 new jobs, 23,000 new homes and a £1 billion increase in GVA. These numbers are embedded in our refreshed Strategic Economic Plan (SEP), and represent the levels of growth that our future transport network needs to accommodate. 1.3 The Independent Economic Review also identified four prime capabilities of the north of England – Advanced Manufacturing, Energy, Health innovation, and Digital – that are seen as imperative to deliver the Transformational growth scenario within the graph above. These are supported by three enabling capabilities – Financial and Professional Services, Logistics, and Further and Higher Education. 1.4 The Tees Valley’s growth sectors cover all of these capabilities right across the City Region, as shown on the plan overleaf (with prime or enabling capabilities shown in yellow highlights). The City Region has world-class expertise and critical mass sectors such as chemicals, energy, advanced manufacturing (particularly oil and gas, metals and automotive) and logistics, with growing capability in new industries - biologics, subsea, digital/creative and the low carbon economy. It is also home to Teesport, the largest exporting port in the UK. All of these growth sectors need effective and reliable multi-modal transport connections. 1 2. Emerging Strategic Transport Plan 2.1 The Tees Valley lies at an important axis of north-south and east-west transport routes that serve the local, regional, Northern and national economies – the A1 Great North Road, the A19 via the Tyne Tunnel, the A66 trans-Pennine route, the East Coast Main Line and the River Tees itself. Teesport, the third largest port in the UK, acts as a major international gateway, and Durham Tees Valley Airport connects the Tees Valley to its global trading partners. The wider highway network context, and these important international gateways, is shown below. 2 2.2 Following on from the publication of the refreshed SEP, the new Tees Valley Combined Authority will be publishing a framework for its new Strategic Transport Plan in Autumn 2016.

  • Economic Climate Report - Place
    APPENDIX 1 1 Economic Climate Report - Place Conclusions There is a range of premises available to provide opportunities for a large number of existing or new businesses, depending on the format of their business operation. However, there may be pressure on the level of available industrial / warehouse floorspace. There is an additional supply of employment land that can accommodate new business development in the area. The central area (including Stockton Town Centre, Teesdale and Thornaby Place) is the location with the largest supply of marketed office floorspace. The Teesdale site accounts for 20,000sq.m of the 31,500sq.m in this area. Other locations with a large supply of marketed and potential office floorspace include Wynyard and Preston Farm / Bowesfield. Large office permissions also exist in the Wynyard area, Central area, Preston Farm / Bowesfield and Portrack, which provide a pipeline for future development. Over 20,000sq.m of industrial floorspace is being marketed at Cowpen Lane. A large unit is also marketed at Preston Farm which may no longer be available. Durham Tees Valley Airport is the location with the largest supply of floorspace with planning permission (170,000sq.m). However, this is partially restricted to airport related uses. A large proportion of total floorspace (32%) has been marketed for less than one year. About 11,500sq.m of office floorspace has been marketed in excess of 5 years; with about 5,400sq.m of this located in the Teesdale area and over 3,000sq.m located in the Preston Farm / Bowesfield area. About 7,600sq.m of industrial floorspace has been marketed in excess of 5 years including units in Wynyard Business Park, Mandale Triangle, Teesside Industrial Estate and Portrack Industrial Estate.

  • THE NEW TEES CROSSING: Unlocking the Future Prosperity of Tees Valley
    9 THE NEW TEES CROSSING: Unlocking the Future Prosperity of Tees Valley MARCH 201 Public Consultation Brochure FOREWORD THE STORY SO FAR ees Valley Combined Authority has ambitious plans to grow the local economy. By 2026 we want to create 25,000 new jobs and build 23,000 new homes. For all of this to happen we need a first-class transport system. T Transformational improvements to the road network are critical to help us achieve our vision to provide a high-quality, quick, affordable, reliable, integrated and safe transport network for people and freight to move within, to and from Tees Valley. The existing Tees Viaduct carries the A19 Trunk Road and suffers severe congestion at peak times. This daily congestion is frustrating for motorists and negatively impacts local businesses. To boost access to strategically important sites, and to ease congestion, we need to provide a new strategic road crossing of the River Tees. Providing a New Tees Crossing is therefore one of our main transport priorities for the region. It is seen as essential to facilitate growth and is supported and endorsed by Transport for the North. We have been developing and refining our plans since work started on the New Tees Crossing scheme in 2015. The timeline below shows the progress so far In this brochure we explain our proposed options for a New Tees Crossing. We also provide details of how you can give us your feedback during our public consultation period. COUNCILLOR STEPHEN HARKER COMBINED AUTHORITY PORTFOLIO LEAD FOR TRANSPORT LEADER OF DARLINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL 2015/16 — A specialist group was established to 2017 — Following detailed appraisal of the two investigate the potential for a New Tees options, the Newport Bridge option was Crossing.
