## Overview

A unique place

## A Unique Partnership Vision And Planning Shared Vision

"By 2030 the 227 hectares of Nine Elms and Vauxhall will become an exemplar and distinctive quarter of central London. As an integral part of the London offer, defined by Lambeth Bridge through Vauxhall to Battersea Power Station and Chelsea Bridge, high quality buildings and public spaces will provide opportunities for jobs and the choice of a variety of homes.  New cultural and leisure development in this Thames River front location, supported by high quality services, especially public transport, will make this a successful and sustainable place where people will want to be."
Annual business planning process which reviews capital spend programme Approval of spend retained by the boroughs

## Difs And Phasing Difs Study Oct 2010

looked at both the projected phasing of development of homes and commercial space up to 2031 and the likelihood of this being brought forward (16,000 
homes and 5.4M sq ft of commercial space) also took into account expected levels of affordable housing (though not itself classed as infrastructure) infrastructure included utilities (energy, waste, water, gas), education, health, public space, parks, employment, culture, transport (including the NLE), community centres, emergency services infrastructure was then costed and tested against what could be funded through a DIFs tariff (which would become CIL) and other sources - exceptions were river path and linear park anticipated NLE complete in 2019 assisted boroughs in setting tariffs and agreeing allocation of funds for infrastructure overall only a £50m gap over 20 years but some cash flow issues

## Difs And Phasing Phasing And Infrastructure Study Oct 2011

need for an updated view of development over time, expected population growth and a 'balance sheet' of when funding would be expected to come in and the infrastructure needs to be met collected phasing info from each development, identified infrastructure funding required over time and level and timing of funding outlined a series of phasing scenarios from optimistic to pessimistic - case for NLE used the most pessimistic scenario calculated population yields for each scenario and plotted funding requirements and anticipated funding to identify gaps anticipated residential units had increased to 18,000 faster than anticipated delivery improved the income forecast over next 5-10 
years and plugged some gaps

## Benefits And Challenges Benefits

gave us assurance that over the programme lifetime we could fund our infrastructure - and identified when there may be cashflow issues provided a level of financial certainty which helped make the case for the NLE alongside the Phasing Study, provided us with a capital programme to inform our business planning and performance evidence for Lambeth and Wandsworth Councils to set DIFs and then CIL tariffs and forward plan the capital spend fed into further studies such as construction logistics planning, education and health provision, utilities loading, skills forecasting etc. which has influenced partnership working, project planning and community benefits mapping

## Benefits And Challenges Challenges

getting the data takes time phasing scenarios never 100% accurate and immediately out of date - need to refresh and review some partners are slow to engage and feed in their infrastructure requirements particularly regarding utilities planning and provision, you can never start too early needed to set up an SPV in order to talk collectively with utility companies nineelmslondon.com info@nineelmsonthesouthbank.com Twitter @NineElmsTeam
