Local finance considerations - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

Isn't it essentially discretionary for the Council or the appropriate delegated power to determine as to whether it was applicable and relevant as a material consideration? If so then it would be case specific but 'local finance considerations' would more than likely be applicable to major schemes as opposed to minor, other and schemes of non-return.

.....although where CIL (for example) is applicable to non-major schemes then is a standard format for referencing it in delegated or committee reports an appropriate way of addressing the collection as a material consideration?

And how material is it that many authorities could actually lose more money as a result of the top slicing of general government grant to fund the New Homes Bonus than they gain as a result of NHB from new housing? My own authority is assuming a cautious approach which assumes returns from NHB equals the loss of grant but it could be worse.
