Region Portfolio: Urban Living Green Book Appraisals
Building on our considerable experience of appraisal and evaluation, ECOTEC has recently developed particular expertise in undertaking economic and options appraisals, utilising the Green Book methodology, for Housing Market Renewal projects.
The Green Book is the HM Treasury guidance on appraisal and evaluation, designed to ensure policies, programmes and projects are not adopted without having first considered whether there are (a) better ways to achieve objectives, and (b) better uses for resources.
Ahead of the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review, the likely devolution of HMR funding decisions to the regions, and looking ahead to the 2008-2010 HMR funding period, ECOTEC has helped the Urban Living HMR Pathfinder to look in detail at three individual projects in order to reappraise:
- strategic fit and contribution to HMR objectives
- whether alternative approaches might achieve better results
- cost effectiveness - in terms of costs and benefits - of resource allocations
broader social, environmental and regeneration benefits
- associated risk and sensitivity to changing market imperatives
- potential opportunities for mainstreaming of projects
