About Decide and Provide

“Decide and Provide” (D&P) is a planning paradigm that is vision-led, rather than forecast-led (Predict and Provide), and which aims to improve the resilience of planning decisions by taking account of deep uncertainty about the future. At its heart is deciding on a preferred future and providing a development path best suited to achieving it.

This Guidance is intended to have the following learning outcomes:

• Understanding what the D&P approach is and why it is needed.
• Informing the preparation, and review of, transport appraisals, including TAs / TSs.
• Supporting TRICS users in making best use of TRICS’s bank of survey data, including historic data sets.
• Understanding of how the D&P approach relates to the wider plan-making and development management/ development control processes.
