On the 16.11.21 Cabinet approved the Strategic Outline Case and gave approval to proceed to the Outline Business Case (Gateway 2) with the programme to be presented to Cabinet at this next Gateway for review and approval.

 

The purpose of the Outline Business Case is to re-confirm the strategic case for the project and to outline and test the detail of the preferred option, the Preferred Way Forward setting out its masterplan and the associated financial case. This Outline Business Case has been prepared using the UK Government’s Treasury Five Case Model methodology.
