Recommendation 13
13
Accepted in Part
Review and amend EN-1 guidance endorsing CSNP for clarity and consistent language.
Recommendation
The Government should review and, if necessary, amend the proposed guidance endorsing the CSNP in paragraphs 3.3.78 to 3.3.80 of EN-1, to make the language more consistent, unambiguous, and more in keeping with current understandings of the intended purpose of the CSNP. This may involve: • reviewing the reference to the CSNP displaying “indicative routes” in paragraph 3.3.80; • removing the reference in paragraph 3.3.79 to a “strategic solution”, an undefined term distinct from “strategic parameters”; and/or • replacing “strategic parameters” with “strategic corridors” until the CSNP is complete and a more precise definition can be adopted. (Recommendation, Paragraph 41)
