We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Allison & Hall will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Allison & Hall recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

New checklist introduced for local plan examinations
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-23)

Planning Inspectorate introduces checklist to streamline local plan examinations

The Planning Inspectorate will introduce a pre-examination checklist for local plans from 6 October 2025. The checklist is designed to ensure plans are ready for examination, resulting in a more efficient process for both local planning authorities and the Inspectorate whilst maintaining examination quality.

Purpose of the pre-examination checklist

The Planning Inspectorate examines local plans on behalf of the Secretary of State to ensure they meet legal requirements and tests of soundness before adoption.

The pre-examination checklist will form part of that responsibility and will allow local planning authorities and the Inspectorate to check whether a plan is “ready for examination” before submission of the plan. This aims to minimise the risk of local planning authorities, interested parties, and the Planning Inspectorate participating in examinations that take a significant amount of time and resources but ultimately result in a conclusion that the plan cannot be found sound or legally compliant.

The checklist will require local planning authorities to ensure they have provided examining inspectors with comprehensive, accessible information relating to legal compliance, plan content and available evidence.

How the process works

Local planning authorities will be requested to complete the checklist and send it to the Planning Inspectorate before their plan is submitted. The information provided will help the Planning Inspectorate assess if:

all necessary practical arrangements are in place

essential evidence and other documents are ready for submission; and

the rationale for the plan content is clear.

To ensure the process remains as efficient as possible, the Inspectorate will aim to respond within 10 working days of receiving a completed checklist. If deemed ready for examination, the local planning authority will be invited to submit its plan immediately. If the Planning Inspectorate’s assessment of the checklist suggests the plan may not be ready for examination, the local planning authority will be provided with recommended actions to address identified shortcomings.

The checklist and Inspectorate’s response will be made available on the examination website along with the plan and all other submission documents to maintain transparency for all.

Further detail on this change can be found in the Procedure Guide and related documents. (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-plans)

CTM18650 - Shadow ACT: utilisation of: overview
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-04)


Shadow ACT is set against a company's capacity but not so as to reduce the amount of its liability. It acts to limit the ability to obtain set-off of unrelieved surplus ACT and ensures that the surplus is accessed to broadly the same extent as it would have been under the previous rules.The amount of shadow ACT that can be set against a company's liability for an accounting period cannot exceed the amount of shadow ACT treated as paid in respect of a relevant distribution made at the end of that period of an amount which, together with the shadow ACT treated as paid in respect of it, is equal to the company's profits charged to CT for that period. That is calculated ignoring any set off of franked investment income or surplus franked investment income. The approach mirrors that in ICTA88/S239 (2).

Military low flying: RAF operational low flying training timetable
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

Royal Air Force (RAF) operational low flying training timetables in 3 areas of the UK.

Timetables for operational low flying (OLF) training by RAF fast jets and Hercules aircraft. These timetables cover 3 tactical training areas (TTA) only. These are:
- LFA 7(T): central Wales
- LFA 14(T): northern Scotland
- LFA 20(T): the borders of southern Scotland and northern England
When the TTA is not in use, there may be other flying activity in the area. The MOD is unable to provide a timetable for all low flying activity as the information can very quickly become outdated due to weather conditions and training requirements.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Sgiliau Cyf will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Sgiliau Cyf recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
