M3 London to Southampton Route Management Strategy

M3 London to Southampton Route Management Strategy

7 Strategy Impact Statement

7.1 Statement

This RMS has identified a number of key route issues. In order to overcome these route issues astrategy has been devised, culminating in the Route Outcomes, which will enable the performance ofthe M3 route to be improved.

The Strategy Impact Statement demonstrates how the implementation of the Route Outcomes willresult in a beneficial impact on the performance of the route.

7.2 Impact Tables

The four impact tables, which present the impact of the Route Outcomes on various factors consideredin the preparation of the RMS, can be found on the following pages. The impact tables are assessedusing the Route Outcomes against the various performance criteria that make up the M3 RouteManagement Strategy.

The impact tables are as follows:

  • Table 7.1: Key Route Issues against Route Outcomes
  • Table 7.2: M3 Route Functions against Route Outcomes
  • Table 7.3: Development Control Statement against Route Outcomes
  • Table 7.4: M3 Policy Objectives against Route Outcomes

Following completion of the RMS, a Route Management Plan will be developed by the HA providingthe implementation plan for actions which will contribute to the Route Outcomes.

7.3 Review

A general review of the RMS is anticipated to take place every five years to monitor progress andensure that the Route Outcomes are still appropriate. However a general review is unlikely to takeplace in the initial period after publication. A general review will also revise any changes to the RouteFunctions, the Policy Objectives and update the Route Problems and Issues.

A major review of the RMS might be triggered where there may be a fundamental change, whichaffects the M3 route. Such triggers might include significant development proposals or changes toGovernment, HA, Regional and Local strategies and policies.
