7.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

7.3.1

The
recommendation is the preferred option because it will allow
progress to be made at pace and for plans to iterate over the
coming years.

 

 

7.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

7.4.1

Creating a single plan covering all areas requiring
decarbonisation was considered, but to enable officers to continue
to deliver projects at the same time this approach was rejected.
Creating a plan which takes us all the way to 2030 was considered
but given the changing technology and current shortfall in funding
of several billion pounds, it was considered that creating a live
and agile document that could be easily updated and added to was
preferable.
