The Department for Transport appraises transport investment using the Department\u2019s Transport Analysis Guidance, which is fully compliant with the Green Book. The guidance takes into account a number of wider economic impacts, such as labour market effects and agglomeration economies. The Department also appraises the impacts of transport investments on unlocking housing developments and regeneration areas. Where appropriate these impacts are quantified and monetised for transport schemes.<\/p>

The government guidance on project appraisal, including that specifically relating to transport investment, is kept under constant review and is updated and developed when appropriate.<\/p>
