West Devon Borough Council were successful in securing Levelling Up Funding to deliver the West Devon Transport Hub, which includes a second rail station in Okehampton. Devon County Council are working in partnership with West Devon Borough Council and Network Rail to deliver the Levelling Up package. Network Rail appointed Octavius (OIL – Octavius Infrastructure Limited – 45 London Rd, London SE1 6JZ) in December 2023 as their sub-contractors to design and deliver the station elements. Prior to Octavius’ appointment, Devon County Council procured WSP (Longbrook House Third Floor, Longbrook House, New North Road, Exeter, Devon, EX4 4UD), through its Transport and Engineering Professional Services contract, to undertake the ecological and environmental surveys over summer 2023 and associated reporting, which was necessary to inform the Network Rail design phase.
There is no detailed programme of works available at present as this will be set by Octavius, however, the terms of the agreement with the Department for Transport is for all Levelling Up Fund grant funding spent by the end of the funding period, 31 March 2025 or by 2025/26 by exception.
