Screenshot of a double-page spread from Local Transport Today.

On the right-hand page, the top headline is “New MHCLG Appraisal Guide (continued)”. Towards the bottom, the final headline is “£1.4m contract for TAG software support”. The article texts are pixelated, except for the opening of the first article, which reads: “An updated Appraisal Guide just published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) includes a new methodology for valuing the health impacts of urban design, among other changes.
“There are a number of areas in which MHCLG appraisal practice has both parallels and contrasts with that of the Department for Transport’s own Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG). Both now have the challenge…”
The latest Local Transport Today #LTT covers the updates to the MHCLG Appraisal Guide, with some comments from me about its relevance for transport planners.
