Introduction to the Options Appraisal
                             Process

What is an Options Appraisal?

   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

       change

       appraisal indicates new development

   TRAs will be a key source of input
   We want to agree the best way to involve everyone
   Options include:
