Transforming Cities Fund Overview
Our vision is to provide a world class sustainable transport system, helping Plymouth become one of Europe’s most vibrant
waterfront cities.
The investment in the public transport and sustainable transport networks will transform connectivity by sustainable travel modes,
providing new and improved travel choices, and improving accessibility to the City’s three regionally significant, strategic growth
areas (City Centre and the Waterfront, Derriford and the Northern Corridor and Eastern Corridor).
The proposals focus on two key commuter corridors, one oriented north-south and the other east-west aligned to key future
growth areas within the city and connecting these to the City Centre and Waterfront Growth Area and other key employment
locations (Figure One). This strategy will provide new travel opportunities, reduce journey times by public transport and connect
areas of deprivation with areas of employment.
Figure 1: Productive Plymouth, Proposed Interventions and Large Employment Site
Plymouth’s overarching Vision set out in the Plymouth Plan is to be “one of Europe’s most vibrant waterfront cities where an
outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone”. The Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan (JLP), the statutory
development plan for Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon, identifies strategic objectives setting out how this vision can be
achieved. These include delivering sustainable growth by delivering 26,700 dwellings (net) in the Plan Area during the plan period
2014 to 2034, and the creation of an additional 20,400 jobs. To help achieve this sustainably the Joint Local Plan identifies the need to
deliver growth in three key, growth areas: Plymouth’s City Centre and Waterfront; Derriford and Northern Corridor; and Eastern
Corridor. Focusing growth in these areas will realise their potential as regionally significant growth hubs. As major trip attractors and

generators, the JLP identifies the importance of providing sustainable access to the growth areas, from communities in the City’s
travel to work area, which in turn have their own plans for growth East and West of Plymouth.
Programme Context
The TCF programme is needed to transform the city’s sustainable transport network. The strategy underpinning the programme
focuses on three main strategic objectives. These are:
Transformational Infrastructure – delivering a step-change in our sustainable transport offer through improved door-to-door
connectivity, providing quality infrastructure that delivers a viable alternative to the private car, and clear information to keep the
traveller informed:
Improving the connectivity, quality and clarity of Plymouth’s sustainable
Innovative Technology – encouraging the use of new and innovative technology and new mobility systems to provide cleaner
transport, enhanced accessibility to active travel modes and to manage transport demand enabling Plymouth to become a ‘Smart City
’
Changing Behaviour – transport measures and effectively managing travel demand through the application of policies that
discourage commuting by single occupancy car alongside targeted fiscal based management strategies in major employment locations.
The Productive Plymouth proposals concentrate on improving connectivity by sustainable transport. The transformative investment
programme forms part of a wider strategy to increase productivity and address the city’s transport needs.
Scheme Summary

OFFICIAL
PLYMOUTH TRANSFORMING CITIES FUND
Plymouth City Council (PCC), Network Rail (NR), Great Western Railway (GWR) and the University of Plymouth (UoP) have prepared and
agreed the masterplan for the redevelopment of Plymouth Station.
To remove vehicle movements
through the station forecourt
interchange, shown as
Masterplan PR1 on the
appended Masterplan, the
currentone-way access into the
station (PR3) will be upgraded
to two-way access to the new
MSCP (1A). Short stay pickup
and drop offfacilities are being
integrated into the ground floor
of a new Multi-Storey Car Park.
This car park is the subject of a
separate scheme pro-forma and
was currently located to the
west of the station.
The public realm works within
Masterplan PR3 and part of PR5
will integrate with all existing
footpaths and primary cycle
routeslocated in this area.
Masterplan PR1 will become a
pedestrian priority area and
linking to phase one of the
concourse improvements (TCF
T1) and phase 2 (TCF T2). PR2
will provide a new access to the
station entrance, linking the city centre improvements to the station.
Masterplan PR3/PR5 will be delivered as part of the new MSCP access works and will be undertaken contemporaneously with the
MSCP construction programme.
The majority of Masterplan PR1 public realm works, with the exception of public realm improvements around the curtilage of the
Station concourse fore court cannot be undertaken until the new MSCP is operational and the existing MSCP has been demolished.
PCC will be funding the majority of the PR1 public realm works as they will fall out of the back end of the TCF 2023 backstop but
remain an integral part of the masterplan public realm improvement strategy. TCF funding will be used to pedestrianise PR1,
improve sustainable access to the station via PR3 and PR5, with PCC local match funding the material finish.
In addition, and linked to the release of the existing MSCP development sites (Masterplan 3 & 2A1/2A2) Masterplan PR2 will be
then be delivered.
Summary of Expected Outcomes
• Remove general vehicle movements through station forecourt interchange
• Upgrade one-way access to two-way
• Integrating pick up and drop off facilities into ground floor of multistory car park
• Station forecourt interchange to become a pedestrian priority area.
• A new access to the station
• Release existing car park sites for redevelopment
Expected Has it been How has it been met?
Outcome met?
Supports the city Yes The overall station redevelopment project is crucial to Plymouth’s economic
economy & facilitate future. The drop off and forecourt improvements are a visual and high profile
economic element of the scheme that will highlight the work done and raise the profile of

development. the city’s vital rail links. The station programme is of significant scale and has
many moving pieces. The redevelopment of the whole of the station includes
bringing unoccupied buildings into use, the provision of a hotel, but required the
relocation of buildings (car park) and reallocation of space (more for pedestrians
and cyclists). The land use plans and changes in and around the station will
significantly increase the economic footprint in and around the station.
Enable reduction Yes Transport represents around 28% of carbon emissions 1, investment in
of carbon sustainable transport to reduce overall car trips through a substantial transfer
emissions. from private car is essential if we are to meet the Council’s pledge to make
Plymouth carbon neutral by 2030. Through enhancements and development
around Plymouth’s main station modal shift will be encourage away from the
private car and onto the train. This scheme improves sustainable access to and
from the station, further encouraging sustainable transport options and
development in the city of Plymouth. The carbon savings of this aspect of the
station is estimated to be: 2,844kg p.a.
Delivers wider Yes The overall station redevelopment, and improved drop offfacilities, integration
social and with cycle routes and forecourt are anticipated to benefit non-use values, access
economic to services and journey quality. The economic benefits of the whole
benefits. redevelopment of the station are covered above, the social benefits are within
linking the station to education opportunities, and enhancing land use and
employment opportunities around the station so that new employees could travel
sustainably / more sustainably to work. In addition the scheme provides Health
benefits (reduced risk of premature death and reduced absenteeism) - £6.445m
(79%)
Support housing Yes The proposal supports the delivery of housing in Plymouth’s travel to work area
delivery. by improving sustainable transport access and egress, coupled with the creation
of employment opportunities in and around Plymouth station. Further details
on housing opportunities in and around the station masterplan are anticipated
when the scheme returns for FBC.
Improves air quality. Yes The Government’s 2019 Clean Air Strategy specifically references the role the
Transforming Cities Fund has to play in tackling emissions from transport through
enabling modal shift to sustainable modes (Section 5.2). The strategy states road
transport is responsible for 80% of emissions at the roadside. This scheme will
improve air quality through enabling modal shift from the private car. Not only
will this reduction emissions from vehicles (both NOx and PM2.5) it will also
reduce the per passenger emission from local buses and trains because of the
increased patronage. The air quality benefits are modest at £10k.

Consultation and Public Engagement
In July 2019 Plymouth’s rail commuters got the big picture of the city’s exciting plans to create a better welcome for rail passengers.
The masterplan gave a bird’s eye view of what buildings could be going up, what’s
coming down and how this vital entrance to Plymouth could look in the future.
Key partners in the city are working together to create a whole new feel to this
important gateway for people arriving into the city by rail – from Cornwall as well
as Devon and beyond.
The University of Plymouth recently showcased by way of a public consultation, its
exciting ambition to transform the tower above the station into Intercity Place.
This will house inter-professional clinical skills and nursing/midwifery facilities as
well as additional educational services to support the future health workforce.

PLYMOUTH TRANSFORMING CITIES FUND
Enabling works and decontamination works are ongoing and Intercity Place will signal the first major work to rejuvenate the station
and its surrounds as the anchor investor.
The masterplan is the guiding document for decisions being taken around this location. Plans include demolishing the redundant rail
incident safety centre (RISC building) on the east side of the station to enable a new multi-storey car park to be built.
The existing car park opposite the entrance is also earmarked for demolition and a new hotel and second university building created
in its place. The masterplan proposes a new car park, almost doubling the capacity to 469 spaces, for the site of the RISC building.
Station staff accommodation will be modernised and significant new public space created including a direct pedestrian link to North
Cross and the city centre, part funded through the Transforming Cities Fund programme.
The entire scheme is made up of a number of funding sources: PCC Capital Programme; One Public Estate; Growth Deal 3 Funding;
Get Britain Building Fund and Transforming Cities Fund.
The City Council has been out to public consultation on the Masterplan and Public Realm Delivery Plan and have adopted it as a
Planning Statement for use in preparing and determining future planning applications between 2021 – 2024 2.
Consultation Responses
2019 Public Consultation Responses
Whilst the majority of responses received were supportive
of the station at 54% (14); 35% (9) stated their objection to
the scheme.
Support Neutral Object
Top 5 Issue Frequency %
Much needed for the City 11 42%
Lack of bus provision and integration/rail replacement bus provision 7 27%
Need adequate pick up/drop off as chaotic and busy 7 27%
Taxi rank needs maximising and preferably undercover as it rains a lot 4 15%
Escalators very welcome, especially as most passengers will have luggage 3 12%
The majority of support highlights the significant improvement the scheme will have for the city. The issues around the
need to provide pick up / drop off facilities, the need for inclusion of rail replacement bus provision/integration and the
provision for taxi’s is being reviewed as part of the design process for the whole of the site.

creation of a new MSCP is included within the cost estimate for the TCF project (Plymouth Station: Station Forecourt Interchange).
Referenced: (Phase 4 (1), Phase 3 (1 & 2).
The plans show the whole works and how they interact. For absolute clairty this TCF project relates to Phase 4 (2) and Phase 3 (3),
with the funding and match funding for these elements of the project only. The TCF funding is for the walking, cycling and public
transport enhancements created as part of this scheme, specifically, removing general traffic from outside the station (except in
times when rail replacement services (buses) are in use).
Scheme Options
PCC have carried out a process of identifying potential Tranche 2 schemes and interventions that could form part of the TCF
package, and carrying out prioritisation of these schemes prior to commencing more detailed scheme development and appraisal
work.
SCHEME PACKAGE DEVELOPMENT
A sifting process was created to prioritise the development of a programme of schemes for the draft SOBC submission. This
consisted of 3 stages as described:
Stage 1 – Eligibility Gateway Assessment
Page 7
OFFICIAL
PLYMOUTH TRANSFORMING CITIES FUND
An initial list of potential schemes was developed through consultation with teams within PCC and key stakeholders. Scheme
promoters were invited to submit initial scheme pro-forma’s which detailed their scheme, key objectives and outputs. Submitted
schemes were reviewed against a set pass/fail criteria to assess whether these schemes would be eligible for the TCF programme. In
total 179 schemes were submitted for consideration.
The station forecourt interchange passed the eligibility gateway assessment
Stage 2 – Prioritisation Against TCF Objectives
Successful schemes were then assessed and scored against a range of criteria that aligned to the objectives of the TCF fund. These
criteria were weighted against the TCF priorities with: access to employment; encouraging modal shift; reductions in carbon and
representing value-for-money having the highest weightings. A threshold was applied so that those schemes that scored highest were
taken forward for development. In total 51 schemes were developed to the point of submission.
The station forecourt interchange scored well against access to employment, encouraging model shift, reducing
carbon and represents good value for money.
Stage 3 – Forming a TCF Programme
These individual schemes were further progressed so that we could understand: levels of deliverability risk; total scheme costs; levels
of local contribution; value-for-money and scheme delivery. This enabled officers to create a balanced blend of projects for delivery
through to 2023. The following scenarios have been presented as part of the draft submission:
FUNDING SCENARIOS
‘Low’: A core set of schemes that align closely with TCF principles, are relatively low risk and provide a range of multi modal
improvements across the network. The initial ask of DfT for the low cost scenario is: £103.47m.
The station forecourt interchange project has been developed over a number of years, and with it being ready for
tender in 2022 demonstrates the deliverability of the scheme well. Additionally, the scheme has a good level of local
contribution and demonstrates excellent value for money.
‘Medium’: This represents a more ambitious but deliverable set of TCF schemes, there are more deliverability risks that will need to
be managed but again these will provide for a range of multi modal improvements across the network. The initial ask of DfT for the
medium cost scenario is: £155.53m.
‘High’: The high cost scenario contains all 51 schemes that passed the Stage 2 prioritisation.
A local contribution will be needed for final submission but dependent upon final schemes we anticipate that this will be sourced from
the existing capital programme and from developer contributions (which may need underwriting until such time developer
contributions are paid).
(https://www.plymouth.gov.uk/sites/default/files/TransformingCitiesFundTranche2AssuranceFramework.pdf)
The station forecourt interchange project provides a healthy local contribution of £2.5m towards the overall
estimated costs of £4m. This funding is secured with Plymouth’s capital programme.

Summary of Appraisal Approach
Economy
The economic appraisal of this scheme has been undertaken in line with TAG unit A5.1 using the DfT Active Mode Appraisal
Toolkit (AMAT), updated following submission utilizing the most up to date version of Webtag. The AMAT is able to calculate
physical activity benefits, absenteeism benefits, journey quality benefits, environmental impacts, indirect tax impacts and
decongestion benefits as a result of the implementation of the walking and cyclingschemes.
The AMAT spreadsheet requires the input of Baseline and Forecast walking/cycling trips and additional scheme parameters. The
inputs required are set out below.
• Scheme opening year and last year of funding.
• Type of area in which the scheme is located.
• Current walking and cycling infrastructure.
• Proposed new infrastructure.
• Number of walking and cycling journeys with and without the scheme.
• Scheme costs including maintenance costs.
Baseline pedestrian and cycle demand was determined from NMU surveys carried out in October 2019.
All assumptions made regarding appraisal inputs have been detailed in the accompanying Walking and Cycling Appraisal Technical
Note submitted as part of the SOBC (Appendix G to the SOBC).
The AMAT appraisal shows that the scheme would produce benefits of £8.132m; these are broken down as follows:
• Health benefits (reduced risk of premature death and reduced absenteeism) - £6.445m (79%)
• Journey quality benefits - £1.517m (19%)
• Mode shift (congestion, maintenance, accident, air quality and noise benefits) - £0.171m (2%)
Social Impacts
A social impacts appraisal has been carried out – the results are summarised in the table below:
Social Impacts

Physical Activity
Moderate Beneficial
Higher quality and more legible facilities provided
Journey Quality offering improved travel experience.
Large Beneficial
No anticipated impacts.
Accidents Neutral

Options and Non-Use Values Neutral
Environmental Impacts
An environmental impact appraisal of the scheme has been carried out – the outputs from this are summarised below. Further
details on the environmental appraisal of the scheme have been included in the Environmental Appraisal Report submitted as part
of the SOBC.
The environmental appraisal concludes that:
• Noise – the scheme will not adversely affect Noise Important Areas;
• Air Quality – the scheme will not adversely affect the Plymouth AQMA;
• Landscape – the scheme will not affect any Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) but may affect the character of
nearby conservation areas; this will require further consideration as the design progresses;
• Historic Environment – the scheme is not expected to adversely affect any World Heritage Sites or Registered Parks and
Gardens, but may adversely affect Listed Buildings. This will require further consideration as the design progresses.
• Biodiversity – no adverse effects are anticipated.
• Water Environment – no adverse effects are anticipated.

COMMERCIAL CASE
Procurement Route or Options
The procurement of the physical works has yet to be determined, although the current thinking is around a design and build
option which would seem to be best suited to the project.
Design and Build Contract
A Design and Build (D&B) contract would involve going to tender based on the outline scheme design. A D&B contract would allow
a ‘sense check’ of the scheme costs from the market at an early stage, and would allow contractors to input into the scheme design,
and potentially in the buildability and value engineering, at an early stage. However, contractors
would be likely to cost risks involved in the design not being at a more detailed stage and hence a higher price might be received.
The advantages and disadvantages of a D&B contract are as follows:

MANAGEMENT CASE
Key Deliverability Risks
Please see attached Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for full breakdown of design, governance, interface and
construction risks. Listed below are the top 5 risks from this analysis:
The cost risk relates to the costs. The schedule risk relates to programme. The combined score is the cost multiplied by the
schedule. Risks within 0-20 are considered low, those within 20-30 are medium, those above 30 are high. All risks are managed and
mitigated in order of priority based upon the combined risk score. The risk register will be updated at full business case but at this
stage the risks presented are being managed and are not insurmountable.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Project Managers of all schemes will be required to monitor the benefits of schemes post construction, and to evaluate performance
against scheme objectives and outputs.
A Monitoring and Evaluation Plan for each scheme has been produced and included as part of the Final Business Case submission;
this plan will set out the monitoring requirements in terms of pre and post construction data collection, the methodologies for doing
this and how data will be analysed to evaluate the impacts of the scheme. Evaluation indicators will be set out with consideration of
guidance in the DfT guidance document ‘Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Local Authority Major Schemes’ (September
2012). It should be noted that this guidance is intended for major schemes, but will be considered for all schemes within the TCF
programme. The Senior Responsible Officer will be responsible for ensuring that the required data collection and surveys are
carried out.
A Benefits Realisation Plan and an Evaluation Plan is being developed to a timetable agreed with the Department, the dates provided
are indicative based upon submission and may be subject to change. These reports will be made available to the Department and,
where possible, published on Plymouth City Councils website.
Regular progress reports will be provided to the Department (frequency, format and content to be agreed) to enable the
monitoring of progress and performance. It is likely that this will track progress against key milestones for the entire programme
and individual schemes (e.g. approval decisions, start of construction, completion etc), spending data (e.g. forecast spend vs actual),
risk summary and a brief narrative commentary on progress and issues.
Assurance Framework
Programme Assurance is provided through adherence to the Project Assurance Framework, which can be downloaded below. As
part of the Transforming Cities Fund award this has been approved by DfT.
Scheme Approvals and Delivery
The Assurance Framework above sets out the process for scheme approval through the Board, and the requirements for
monitoring and evaluation.
During the delivery phase of the scheme, progress will be reported monthly on each scheme to the Project Board by the Project
Manager. If there are issues during the delivery phase that may affect the delivery programme or budget, a progress report will be
escalated the Programme Board, which may seek approval for amendments to the scheme delivery programme or budget. The
SRO for the TCF programme will sit on both the Project Board and Programme Board, and will therefore have full oversight of
delivery of all schemes within the TCF programme.

Context
Background
Plymouth City Council is preparing a Concept Masterplan and Public Realm Delivery Plan to guide
the regeneration of the railway station and its environs.
The area will be transformed over a number of years, and the masterplan will help to guide the
submission and determination of planning applications and permitted development works for the
demolition and construction works in the area.
The masterplan will also identify the regeneration scheme’s delivery partners and phasing.
Elements of the scheme are expected to include:
• T he refurbishment of InterCity House and reuse by the University of Plymouth as academic
accommodation
• The refurbishment of the railway station concourse and public realm area
• The relocation of some of GWR’s infrastructure within the site
• A new multi-storey car park on railway land to the east of Intercity House
• A hotel on part of the site of the existing multi-storey car park
• New university academic accommodation buildings
• Improved public realm and walking/cycling connections to the city centre and university
• A new landscaping scheme south of Caprera Terrace connecting to the city
Stakeholders
The Masterplan has been prepared by Plymouth City council with Network Rail, GWR and
University of Plymouth as stakeholders.

Plymouth Railway Station Masterplan - Opportunities and Feedback
University of Plymouth Development
InterCity Place
“This forms an important part of the University’s
ambitious estate plans which will transform
the campus and re-imagine university teaching
and research spaces for the 21st century. The
station scheme is an important part of these
plans and will significantly improve this notable
city landmark so that it becomes an exciting
gateway into Plymouth. As a new home for
allied health professions and nursing/midwifery,
this builds on our already strong health
credentials by making a significant investment
in educating tomorrow’s health professionals
for the region and beyond.”
Professor Judith Petts CBE, University of
Plymouth Vice-Chancellor
