DCA (RAG) Amber
DCA text: Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the IPA's DCA rating at 21/22-Q4 remained at Amber. The project awaits the Development Consent Order (DCO) re-determination decision. Until such time as this is received, the project delivery programme assumes a DCO re-determination window of August to November 2022. This would enable current forecast dates for Main Works earthworks to start in April 2024 and lead to a forecast Open for Traffic (OfT) date range of winter 2029-2030. Any slippage of the DCO re-determination past November 2022 will mean that earthworks would not start until April 2025 and the OfT date range would move to winter 2030-2031.
Start date 2014-12-01
End date 2033-12-31
Schedule text Compared to 2021-Q4, your project end-date remained scheduled to finish on 31 DEC 2033. This is primarily due to the following factors: The 21/22 Q4 report stated a project end date of 31 Dec 2034. The Secretary of State's DCO Decision was overturned by a Judicial Review in July 2021. At present, no timeframe has been set for a re-determination of the quashed DCO. Until the re-determination decision is made, the project is working to a series of scenario plans to progress future delivery of the project.

WLCost text: Compared to2021-Q4, the projects Baseline Whole Life Cost increased from 1977.00 (£m) to 2059.44 (£m). This is primarily due to the following factors: The above shows the provisional baseline that was presented to the Chief Secretary of Treasury on 11 April 2022 for approval. It incorporates the expected 12 month delay due to the Judicial Review impact. This will be reviewed once the DCO re-determination delay is known.
