It aims to do this through the development of methodology, evidence reviews and subsequent recommendations. The Noise subject group IGCB(N) published its most recent recommendations here in 2014. These recommendations have since been incorporated into the DfT transport analysis guidance and the HMT Green Book here on appraisal and evaluation. The aim of this Contract is to prepare written guidance for the IGCB(N) on the evidence base they will use to determine whether updates to its previous recommendations are advisable.
