Stage 2 : Develop and Assess

This step has been started

During the 'Develop and Assess' stage, the change sponsor develops baseline scenarios and design options that address the Statement of Need and align with the design principles from Stage 1. Following this, the change sponsor engages with stakeholders on the baseline scenarios and design options, prior to conducting a design principle evaluation. The change sponsor then carries out an initial options appraisal of the different design options.

CAA response to Stage 2

12 Dec 23 - The revised airspace change process (CAP 1616, Version 5) will be implemented on 2 January 2024. This ACP will remain a Level 1 and will need to follow the process requirements as set out in CAP 1616 Version 5.
