Surface Water Management Plan - Hampshire County Council

Only measures which score 2 or more will be considered further under Stage2. Stage 2 considers individual measures scored against various criteria, withscores summed to generate a short-list. These short-listing criteria areoutlined in Table 3 below. The purpose of the scoring is to rank individualmeasures to identify those to take forward for more detailed appraisal. Thekey criterion is whether the measures will assist in meeting the objectivesestablished at the outset of the SWMP.Criteria Description ScoreTechnical Is it technically possible andbuildable?
