Applying the Multi-modal New Approach to Appraisal to Highway Schemes

5. DMRB and GOMMMS Correspondence Tables

5.1 Introduction

5.1.1 This document is focused on the production of a NATA appraisal at Plan Level equivalent to a DMRB Stage 3 assessment. This assumes a high level of detail can be achieved and the information available from DMRB is of an appropriate level of detail. However, less detailed information is available at DMRB Stages 1 and 2, thus the NATA appraisal method will need to reflect this and it is likely that assumptions will need to be made as appropriate. Where this is necessary, analysts should bear in mind the NATA principle that judgement should be based on evidence where possible and should ensure that all assumptions are justifiable and fully documented. Some advice is given in the following Objectives chapters, Chapters 7-11, with regard to Stage 1 and 2 appraisals, by sub-objective.

5.1.2 The structure of the GOMMMS Appraisal Summary Table (AST) is given in Annex A. The AST is a one-page summary of the effects of a scheme/Plan for use by decision-makers, explained further in Chapter 6.

5.2 Correspondence Tables

5.2.1 To assist the analyst, a correspondence table has been produced for the Environment Objective (Table 5.1), which illustrates for each sub-objective the worksheets that need to be completed as part of the GOMMMS appraisal and the source of the information from the DMRB assessment and other related sources, where there is a relevant equivalence. For those sub-objectives that are introduced by the new approach to appraisal, there is no equivalence in DMRB.

5.2.2 Tables 5.2 to 5.5 provide the correspondence tables for the Safety, Economy, Accessibility and Integration Objectives respectively, including references to other sources of information than DMRB where relevant.
