New Routes to Good Growth, Medway: strategic road and rail infrastructure to enable the delivery of 11,000 homes, meeting over a third of Medway’s housing needs by 2035. In December 2018, Medway Council invited us to develop its business case for an investment through the Housing Infrastructure Fund. In November 2019, New Routes to Good Growth was awarded Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government funding of £170 million.

Falkirk Grangemouth Investment Zone: We’ve worked with Falkirk Council, Scottish Enterprise, and its business partners over the last three years to build a vision for the area to 2040. We developed the Future of Grangemouth Vision outlining what the area hopes to achieve and led on the preparation of the strategic case for the Falkirk Grangemouth Investment Zone, which aims to position the area as a world leader in sustainable and innovative manufacturing. With a clear programme of projects, and submission of the £235 million Falkirk Grangemouth Investment Zone proposal for growth deal funding in September 2019, our team is helping the area and its key industries map the path to a prosperous 2040.

Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC): The UK and Scottish Governments announced in 2018 that Inchinnan, next to Glasgow Airport, will be the location of the UK’s Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC). The £56 million project will be delivered by Innovate UK, responding to an identified market demand to maintain innovation in the medicines manufacturing sector and preserve the UK’s industry-leading role. Our Glasgow economics and planning teams led the site selection process on behalf of the client. We identified potential locations by understanding occupier requirements, the offers of competitive locations, and focusing on locations which would have maximum strategic economic impact.

Glasgow City Region City Deal -Business Case Development: In the last 3 years, Stantec has applied its case making and business case development experience on City Deal, Tax IF and other projects. This has included the £114m Waterfront & West End Innovation Quarter which provides some of the enabling access infrastructure, and site preparation around the Clyde Waterfront Innovation Centre (CWIC); public realm at Byres Road (south) and improved connections to Kelvinhall Underground near Church Street Innovation Zone; and the Partick – Govan Bridge and pedestrian connections linking the main campus to the CWIC. Stantec also directed the OBCs for the £27m Collegelands Calton Barras; and the £115m City Centre Public Realm Infrastructure projects. In Renfrewshire, we prepared business cases for the Glasgow Airport Investment Area; White Cart Corridor and the Renfrew – Yoker Bridge Crossing projects. We also prepared the OBCs for the Exxon project in West Dunbartonshire; the Cathkin Bypass, and Greenhills Link Road (both South Lanarkshire); and the Holytown and Glenboig OBCs for North Lanarkshire Council.

Chatham Masterplan: Stantec was commissioned by Glespies to support the development of the Chatham Masterplan. We were required to assess the economic drivers for change and growth in Chatham, drawing on existing and emerging Council, Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and other strategy, programs & initiatives as well as the Local Plan evidence base. We prepared a socio-economic baseline as the basis for assessing later scenarios to help shape the economy of the masterplan area over the next 10-15 years as well as identifying principles for maximising the masterplan’s local economic impact.
