The delivery of the Corporate Strategy was underpinned by ORR’s Business Plan for 2006-07 (published in April 2006 as an annex to the Corporate Strategy). That Business Plan described in greater detail what ORR expected to achieve over the planning period 2006-07, and the activities it intended to undertake in support of its aim and objectives.
