Alternative options considered:

Option 1- Chosen Option as discussed to award funding for the development of a Full Business Case

Option 2- To award funding to develop an Outline Business Case. This was not taken forward due to the developed nature of the scheme and lower engineering risk not requiring this.

Option 3- To deliver the business case as part of other existing transport schemes. Not taken forward due to lack of shared strategic context and delivery timescales.
