1.Problem identification

From the case study the pain points of the case study are the neighbour
nuisance and the problem of competition. These pain points have to be supported by
evidence and have to be clarified in terms of their intensity and scope.

2.Options

The research team have offered five solutions to solve the problems as
explicated in the previous paragraph.
3.Cost-Benefit analysis

The research team has performed a cost-benefit analysis of the five

alternatives. the main cost in this case study is the cost for the neighbours who have to
report the nuisance. In order to calculate the costs and benefits, it is important to identify
and quantify the costs and benefits for each stakeholder.

4.Cost benefits comparisons
In order to find the most efficient solution, all the costs and benefits for each

solution will have to be compared.
5.Conclusion
the result of the comparison shows that the most efficient solution is doing

nothing since it has the highest net benefits.
