Plenty of potential story ideas could be explored whether it is historicals like the Middle Ages, Feudel Japan is quite a cool location. Even meeting a historical figure like Thomas Edison, Genghis Kahn and many other figures. The Cybermen can be given a particularly creepy role with their conversion of Huamns, perhaps they are trying to convert people from the past and a historical figure could be the attempted target of a conversion. Or you could even do an idea that Capaldi mentioned and that is a Genesis of the Cybermen, exploring their roots and how they came to be the horrifying robotic men that they are now.

Are you going to use any original villains during the series? If not then I might suggest such races as the Sycorax, Ood, Weeping Angels (they may be overused and hard to convert to writing form), Slitheen (I feel like they could be used to great effect with their hiding in a Human skin being a particularly creepy concept), Siluarians to name but a few new who villains. The Sea Devils would be a great classic villain to use and even individuals like the Rani and the Meddling Monk would be great to see if you want some to escape from Gallifrey. Many alien planets could be used whether it is a snow filled planet much like Hoth which could be used for a base under siege like story or a desert planet like Tatooine could be used.

There are alternative story options like the no monster story where it is simply the Doctor v Nature for example. You could also do an episode which is based on a spaceship where there are two different divisions at war with each other and it is unclear who the good guy and bad guy is. I feel like a story based in Skaro may be needed if you want to follow the Gallifrey arc and even perhaps a visit to those famous Dalek War Camps could lead the Doctor to trying to find information on the whereabouts of Gallifrey or it could be a part off his getting the universe ready for Gallifrey, I feel like there should be a story set in a Dalek War Camp as no one has ever escaped from them (Asylum of the Daleks) and they seem like a very interesting concept.

Just a few random ideas that do not seem particularly well developed at the moment.
