Structured process to decide on the best way forward Balances a range of factors – housing, social, health & wellbeing, local environment, economic, planning, community and financial & deliverability Typically tests 5- 6 options, against a “do nothing” or “business as usual” base case Needs to take enough time to consider issues thoroughly but also give people certainty on a decision / conclusion date Carried out in line with government and GLA guidance Intended only to indicate the best broad option; this will then need to be worked up in detail in conjunction with local people
