Planning Inspectorate’s approach to casework during the pre-election period 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-21)

The Planning Inspectorate issuing appeal decisions and recommendations during the election period in England

The Planning Inspectorate always aims to issue decisions and recommendations promptly after the event. However, in the run-up to the 1 May 2025 elections (10 April 2025 to 1 May 2025) we are concerned to ensure that appeal decisions or recommendations relating to proposals which have raised particular sensitivities or interest in an area cannot be seen to have influenced the election or have been used to electoral advantage by any interested body.

Accordingly, we will not be issuing decisions, reports or advisory letters in cases or examinations where known candidates have made representations until after the election day unless a statutory duty to a timetable applies.

Appeals casework

In appeals we will also hold back cases that may give rise to electoral sensitivities because of their nature and / or the issues involved. This might include:
- where there has been an extensive local campaign or where the decision raises very controversial local issues like inappropriate and / or unauthorised development in the Green Belt
- major green field housing
- renewables
- where there is an emerging Neighbourhood Plan
Whether a decision should be held back until the election results have been announced is a judgement taken by the Inspector in conjunction with senior managers at the Planning Inspectorate based on the circumstances of the case. We shall, of course, ensure that any such delayed decisions are issued promptly after the election.

National Infrastructure Casework

As National Infrastructure Examinations are required to comply with a statutory time limit, once the Preliminary Meeting has been notified and the Examination Timetable has been set, the examination is expected to run to the published timetable.

Local Plans

All scheduled local plan examinations and hearing sessions will continue during the pre-election period and new examinations will also begin. However, to avoid making announcements that could be politically sensitive, for affected Local Planning Authorities the Planning Inspectorate will not be issuing any letters regarding the soundness or legal compliance of local plans, or final reports (including for fact check[1] (#_ftn1)), from 10 April until after the election day.

As Councils operate a longer pre-election period commencing on 20 March, from that date we will liaise with Local Planning Authorities in those areas holding elections (or cross-border areas) about the publication of any material, including final reports, that could be seen as sensitive.

[1] (#_ftnref1) The fact check report is the version of the report the Planning Inspectorate sends to the Local Planning Authority to check for factual errors or inconsistencies. The final report is issued after this process has been completed.

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 Avtrade Limited 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 Avtrade Limited 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
We also pledge the following:

We provide and prioritise engaging with ex-service men and women in all our work we provide variety, recommendations and opportunities to develop new and use existing skills.

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.

DANSP41100 - Notices of decision: who to name in decisions: introduction
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)


Regulation 3 of the Social Security Contributions (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 (SI 1999 No 1027)

Regulation 3 of the Social Security Contributions (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 requires that a decision must state the name of every person in respect of whom it is made.

Where there is only one worker affected by the decision you should name that worker in the DAA(1A) notice of decision issued to the employer. You should also issue a DAA1(B) notice of decision to the named worker.

If there are no more than 6 workers affected by the decision, wherever possible, name all of those workers in the decision. Decisions which could affect more than one worker include:
- Class 1 National Insurance contributions (NICs) liability
- Class 1 NICs paid
- employment status
When naming more than one worker in a decision, you should also issue a notice of decision to each named worker. So, for example, where 3 workers are affected, issue:
- a DAA1(A) notice of decision to the employer, naming the 3 workers
- a DAA1(B) notice of decision to each of the named workers
Do not tell each worker any details of other workers affected by the decision or the total amount of NICs HMRC intends collecting from the employer in respect of all affected workers.

Where there are more than 6 workers affected by the decision, DANSP41500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/decision-and-appeals-for-national-insurance-contributions-and-statutory-payments/dansp41500) tells you who to name in decisions.

If you're unable to individually identify any or all of the workers, DANSP41200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/decision-and-appeals-for-national-insurance-contributions-and-statutory-payments/dansp41200) explains what you should do.

FloodReady: an action plan to build the resilience of people and properties
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-16)

Professor Peter Bonfield’s independent review of property flood resilience examines the actions needed to make more properties resilient to flooding.

In January 2025, the Environment Agency commissioned Professor Peter Bonfield to undertake a review of property flood resilience. The terms of reference (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/floodproof-an-action-plan-to-build-resilience) are published.

The review builds on the progress made since the 2016 property flood resilience action plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/improving-property-level-flood-resilience-bonfield-2016-action-plan).

The report puts forward the following 6 strategic themes, supported by 22 recommendations:
- a coherent and growing demand
- trusted and accessible products and services
- trusted sources of information
- reducing water runoff at property level
- the regulatory and legislative framework
- research and innovation to enable a thriving property flood resilience market
The recommendations are supported by an action plan.

How to register and de-register as a provider of social housing
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-10)

All you need to know about how to register or de-register as a social housing provider.

These guides aim to help individual organisations make informed decisions about whether seeking registration with the regulator is the right decision for them. They cover the common misconceptions about registration and the main issues that applicants encounter in seeking to demonstrate that they meet requirements.

The registration criteria and the application process are explained in the Guidance for new entrants.

Before starting the application process, applicants should familiarise themselves with both the preliminary and detailed stage requirements, and with the requirements that will apply to it if it is registered.

To register as a provider of social housing you should first complete the Preliminary application form on this page – this will allow us to check whether you meet the eligibility requirements of registration.

If you meet the eligibility requirements at the Preliminary application stage, you will be invited to complete the Detailed application form. Guidance on completing the application forms is included within each form.

Under section 114A of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, local authorities who have taken the decision to provide social housing are subject to compulsory registration and should notify us by emailing xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).
Check your pension scheme member’s protected allowances
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-05)

What you need to do if your member has protected their allowances and this entitles them to both a higher lump sum allowance and lump sum death benefit allowance.

Overview

From 6 April 2024, the lifetime allowance was abolished.

You’ll need to send an Event Report (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pension-administrators-reporting-to-hmrc) even if the member is relying on protected allowances and both of the follow apply:
- the scheme administrator has made a payment of a lump sum or lump sum death benefit related to a relevant benefit crystallisation event
- the member has exceeded their available lump sum allowance
You’ll also need to make sure you give the right information to your members (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pension-administrators-annual-and-lifetime-allowance-statements).

Protection before 2016 reduction

Before 2016 your members could hold one of the following protections:
- enhanced protection
- primary protection
- fixed protection
- individual protection 2014
- fixed protection 2014
Your members should give you the pension scheme administrator reference number for their protection and you’ll need to use this when testing their benefits.

Your members can find their reference number on their protection certificate or confirmation letter. Additionally, most members will be able to view it online through their Government Gateway user ID.

You may decide to ask your member for a copy of their protection certificate so you can confirm the value of their protected allowances.

Protection from 2016 reduction

The protection notification number is in the format:
- FP16 followed by 10 digits and 1 letter, for fixed protection 2016 (for example FP161234567890A)
- IP16 followed by 10 digits and 1 letter, for individual protection 2016 (for example IP161234567890B)
Temporary reference numbers are no longer valid. If your member has one they’ll need to apply for a permanent protection notification number (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pension-schemes-protect-your-lifetime-allowance).

Protected allowances look-up service

To check if your member has protected their allowances, you can use the protected allowances scheme administrator look-up service (http://www.tax.service.gov.uk/protect-your-lifetime-allowance/psalookup/scheme-administrator-reference).

To use the look-up service, you’ll need:
- your member’s National Insurance number
- your member’s surname
- your member’s protection notification number
- your member’s pension scheme administrator check reference number
In most cases, your members can find these reference numbers through their Government Gateway user ID (https://www.gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services), even if they did not apply for lifetime allowance protection online.

If your members lose their protected allowances, they must tell HMRC immediately.

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 Blake Emergency Services 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Blake Emergency Services 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
We also pledge the following:

paid leave for reservists and CFAVs

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.
