Strategic Challenge Panel

This panel challenges our strategic approach and gives us an independent perspective on how we develop our proposals. Panel members scrutinise these proposals, to assess whether they match our strategic objectives.

In particular it asks whether:

  • our overall approach will produce comprehensive results (have enough options been considered, have stakeholders been fully consulted?)
  • all relevant factors, including wider economic impacts, are being taken into account to ensure reliable outputs
  • the option selection process is sensible and fair
  • the proposals provide appropriate solutions to our strategic objectives
  • our assessment of corridors for potential development is thorough
