The outputs of this project will be published once research is complete.

Details

The project will review and research the effect of previous discontinuance and adaptation schemes, both in terms of the benefits accrued and the dis-benefits. It’ll provide advice on the process and the considerations to take into account, including environmental and societal factors.

The guidance will be based on a review of earlier schemes and projects currently being planned and executed. The resulting guide is to support those in the field to reach improved outcomes and efficiency savings.

The expected completion date is winter 23/24.
