The Reasons are:

To enable the Phase 1 works to be carried over the summer period which is critical in terms of the condition of the junction and for network co-ordination purposes.

Options considered and rejected were: Commencing the works early in 2027 which would cause SCC issue in relation to the condition of the junction and co-ordinating with other major projects.

Assessment of Risk:

Medium: A robust risk management process has been implemented, commencing at project inception stage. A risk register has been established and this is being maintained as a live document which is reviewed periodically and updated following any noteworthy changes to the situation.

A contract would not be awarded until officers have confidence that the business case would be approved based on the outcome of the gateway review process. Once that surety is made the remaining steps are formal approvals at Bee Network Committee and the signing of legal agreements.

Should approval not be granted the summer window to construct Phase 1 will be lost and potential any resurfacing works at the junction may not take place for at least another 12 months or until the adjacent major projects noted in this report are completed.

The source of funding is CRSTS Streets for All Programme / Section 106 Contribution – to be underwritten by SCC Capital Programme if required initially.
