Strategy Impact Statement

The RMS Study for the M1 and M10 has identified a number of key route issues. In order to overcome these route issues a strategy has been devised, culminating in Route Outcomes (RO's), which will enable the performance of the route to be improved.

The Strategy Impact Statement demonstrates how the implementation of the route outcomes will result in a beneficial impact on the performance of the route.

Based on an analysis of the route functions, and through consultation, a number of Key Route Outcomes have been identified. These have been determined on the basis of the impact they are expected to have on the route functions, such as serving local businesses and communities or the route issues they address, such as provision of crossing facilities for vulnerable users.

Impact Table

The four impact tables, which present the impact of the Route Outcomes on various factors considered in the preparation of the RMS, can be found on the following pages. The impact tables are assessed using the proposed Route Outcomes against the various performance criteria that make up the M1-M10 Route Management Strategy.

The Impact tables are as follows:

• Impact of Route Outcomes in relation to Route Problems and Issues
• Impact of Route Outcomes in relation to Route Functions
• Impact of Route Outcomes in relation to Development Control
• Impact of Route Outcomes in relation to Policy Objectives
