4.0 It is clear from Central Government guidance that a key feature of Area Action Plans should be their focus upon implementation. As well as identifying the distribution of land uses, site-specific development proposals, associated infrastructure and other improvements (as set out in Part C of this plan) an AAP should also set a broad timetable for their delivery and implementation.
4.1 Accordingly, it is important that the proposals within the Longbridge AAP are both deliverable and viable within the timeframe of the plan. In addition, it is believed that the Longbridge AAP should also act as a wider ‘catalyst for change’ and have a strong role to play in stimulating regeneration in its widest sense including focusing the delivery of local area-based regeneration initiatives and socioeconomic programmes.
4.2 The implementation of the Longbridge AAP over the life of the plan will be very dependant upon: Commercial interest in the types and mix of land uses proposed. The levels of on site constraints and development costs. Financial returns on remediated land and packaged sites. The viability of schemes at the time planning applications are submitted. Implementation of public sector initiatives and availability of public sector and other stakeholder funding, including co-funding or gap funding, as necessary.
4.3 A detailed viability model has been established for the Longbridge AAP, which underpins and supports the proposals established in this document. An ‘open book’ approach has been taken with the main developer to broadly agree the variables within the model. The model has enabled the local authorities to:
4.4 Details of the viability model are provided in the technical baseline report on viability and deliverability, which supports this document.
4.5 The development will require an element of public funding and further information on this is set out in table 5 and in Appendix 5.
In addition, the previously developed nature of the site, which requires substantial remediation and other abnormal costs, means that viability is likely to be an issue in times of difficult market conditions. In such circumstances a flexible approach to any negotiations at planning application stage will be required to ensure viability and that the delivery of an acceptable scheme on the ground is not constrained or delayed. The approach to such negotiations is set out in paragraph 4.25 below.
4.6 The redevelopment of Longbridge will result in 10,000 jobs, a minimum of 1,450 new dwellings and approximately 3,500 new residents. This creates a need for a range of physical and community infrastructure and other measures, without which:
4.7 In terms of planning obligations, these may require the developer to carry out certain prescribed works to provide the appropriate infrastructure and measures (e.g. requiring that a certain proportion of housing is affordable); and/or mitigate the negative impacts of a development and to ensure that it makes a positive contribution to the communities within which it is situated (e.g. through environmental mitigation measures and increased public transport provision). These types of obligations, which are in line with Planning Obligations Circular 05/05 are identified in the site-specific proposals in Section C of the Plan and Tables 1 and 2 below.
Where appropriate, planning conditions will also be used to secure infrastructure and other measures.
4.8 The local authorities involved in producing the Longbridge AAP have agreed a planning contributions model, which consists of both traditionally negotiated S106 elements, such as affordable housing, and a simple Longbridge Infrastructure Tariff (LIT), to support the development of the area. This approach could have several advantages including:
4.9 The planning contributions model also sits alongside a package of S278 and S38 agreements for the private sector and other stakeholder funding of works on local and strategic roads as required by proposals in the Movement Strategy. The S278 agreements provide a well tested financial mechanism for ensuring delivery of mitigation works identified and determined as necessary for planning permission to be granted. Table 1 provides information on the key anticipated S278 requirements as part of the Longbridge AAP.
4.10 Agreements will also be required under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 for roads to be adopted within the development sites. There will be further standard agreements for the adoption of sewers, footways and other structures.

4.11 The planning contributions associated with the Longbridge AAP are split into traditionally negotiated agreements under Section 106, and a supporting Longbridge Infrastructure Tariff (LIT), which covers both residential and non-residential elements of the development. If the scheme is not viable at the time of submitting planning applications there will be a need for negotiations on the application, including the S106 and LIT elements, and taking account of the availability of public sector and other stakeholder funding. The approach to this is set out in para 4.25 below.
4.12 Section 106 Agreements The elements of the scheme for negotiations include: A target of 35% affordable housing across the site. Securing the provision of community, library, health, recreational and cultural facilities within the overall development and the provision of ‘The Austin’ building within the local centre and space within it for a variety of users as well as the provision of new library/community centre as part of the redevelopment on the former East Works site. Securing an appropriate level of affordable business space. Establishing requirements for site specification and phasing of river infrastructure (River Rea and River Arrow). Establishing requirements and specification for the urban park and local neighbourhood parks, walkways and cycle-ways.
Agreements covering design and construction standards for residential and non-residential buildings. Ensuring that carbon emissions from development are minimised in line with the area-wide sustainability strategy. Agreements on overall site phasing, upfront infrastructure and the timing of reserved planning application matters. Securing 15 year open space and local centre/town centre management agreements. Triggers for payment of LIT contributions, longstop dates when outstanding payments are due, as well as the indexation of levy contributions.
4.13 Longbridge Community Infrastructure Improvements With regard to the LIT, infrastructure has been defined by the joint charging authorities (Bromsgrove District Council and Birmingham City Council) as ‘infrastructure of local and strategic importance to the delivery of sustainable developments’. Table 2 summarises a broad schedule of anticipated community infrastructure improvements to support the Longbridge AAP. Further information on the community infrastructure requirements including outline costs, information sources and methods of calculation are included in the Longbridge Viability and Deliverability Technical Baseline report.

4.14 Some of the Community Infrastructure improvements may need to be delivered upfront and at certain phased intervals in the overall development schedule. This means that the planning contributions model will require a degree of forward funding to support regeneration and development. The role of the Accountable Body and its banking role will therefore be essential in this respect. The banker and other stakeholders will be expected to demonstrate that all reasonable endeavours have been undertaken to minimize unnecessary expenditure and to identify funding where there is a gap between scheme expenditure and income. (4)
4.15 The rate established for the LIT is detailed in 4.15 and Table 3, which covers both residential and non-residential elements of the scheme. A de minimus level of 5 dwellings has been set for the residential component of the tariff and a minimum of 0.1ha gross for nonresidential sites.
4.16 All financial contributions will be ‘index linked’ from April 2008, in accordance with the methodology set out in the AAP Glossary. The timing and phasing of tariff payments is established below: Residential and Non-Residential

4.17 The planning and phasing of the Longbridge development needs to be carefully managed and structured to minimise disruption to local businesses and residents. It also needs to follow the guiding principle that services, facilities and infrastructure will be provided at stages in the development process when the need for them is programmed to arise and not towards the middle or end of a scheme.
4.18 There is a diverse range of infrastructure improvements to deliver the requirements of the LAAP, ranging from key strategic transport infrastructure to those that deliver community and social benefits. The expenditure of infrastructure monies will need to be spent against a detailed delivery plan, which sets out:
The delivery plan will also be reviewed regularly in light of planning application submissions, viability assessments and changing infrastructure costs, tariff income and expenditure profiles.
4.19 The key estimated development phases are detailed below:
Site Remediation
Highways Works, Transport Infrastructure and River Networks
Development Construction and Key Physical Community Infrastructure
Delivery will however be dependant on market conditions at the time of the Development.

4.21 Following the restructuring of MG Rover in 2000, nearly 30 ha of the site was identified as being surplus to requirements and was acquired by St. Modwen PLC and Advantage West Midlands (AWM). The Longbridge Development Framework was prepared for this site by Birmingham City Council and outline planning permission for a major development on the former North Works Car Park and part of South Works was granted in 2005 comprising:
4.22 Following the closure of MG Rover in 2005, a statement of intent was adopted by Birmingham City Council, Bromsgrove District Council and Worcestershire Country Council with endorsement by AWM and the major landowner St. Modwen PLC. This statement had as its aim to:
4.23 The range of development now proposed in this AAP requires a number of phased planning applications. Broadly, the forward planning application process includes:
4.24 The transport and environmental assessments will need to cover the cumulative impact of all development in the AAP area, including North Works, West Works, East Works, Cofton Centre and the existing technology park.
4.25 It is recognized that market conditions are subject to change, and that these can impact on the viability of development. If at the time planning applications are submitted, it can be shown through an open development appraisal, that a scheme may be unviable if the LAAP’s policies have to be applied in full; then the Local Authorities will enter into detailed negotiations with the applicants to determine what may be acceptable to enable the scheme to proceed.
In such cases, the planning obligations that have not delivered the full tariff levels set out in table 3 will include mechanisms to allow the scale of obligations to be increased if it can be demonstrated that market conditions improve at the time the development is implemented. e.g. through linking the tariff payments to phases of the development.
4.26 The plan has been developed in partnership with a wide range of local people, organisations and stakeholders over the last 2-3 years.
4.27 It is now apparent that as the plan moves forward from production to implementation there is a need to clearly set out the key delivery partnerships.
These are briefly outlined below with principal responsibilities:
4.28 There are three main Local Strategic Partnerships which cover the AAP area. In addition to reporting on specific themes or projects to various meetings, and the existing relationships through the various groups detailed above, it is intended that the Longbridge Implementation Group will provide an annual update to each partnership linked in with the annual monitoring requirements of the plan.
4.29 Additionally, although not a formal partnership, the developer is also preparing a scheme of delivery and management for the RIS in consultation with AWM, CTB, BCC and other relevant stakeholders including local Universities.
4.30 A summary implementation plan linking proposals to delivery is outlined below. The table also makes reference to risk assessment and scheme phasing as detailed above.

4.31 The implementation of the Area Action Plan will be monitored on an annual basis against the plan’s objectives detailed in Part B. This will help BCC and BDC keep track of progress during the lifespan of the plan. A number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been identified, which will be refined over time and linked to appropriate targets. These targets will then be reported though the Annual Monitoring Report. The responsibility for the collection of the KPI information resides with both planning authorities. This will involve the collection of primary and secondary data from a variety of sources.
4.32 In addition to annual monitoring requirements the plan will be subject to a strategic review after 5 years. This will assist the planning authorities gauge the overall effectiveness of the plan and consider any major changes in direction, policies and proposals. Table 6 sets out a series of indicators against which progress will be monitored.
