Where a project is mostly or wholly funded by ESFA then we will take this into account in our evaluation. ESFA will continue to require a single-year finance record with the outturn for the year 2021 to 2022 for submission with the financial statements for the year 2021 to 2022 and further information on this finance record will be provided later in 2022.

A formal letter of waiver or letter of comfort from the bank, pertaining to the financial year which is being assessed, showing intended actions arising. As is the case under the existing financial health scoring method, each indicator would be given its own score, but out of 150 rather than 100. If the corporation identifies a material risk to financial viability and/or solvency of the corporation, it must share a version of the CFFR modelling that scenario with ESFA, ensuring that this is submitted as ‘additional evidence’ when using the online submissions portal.Landscape ecology originally focused on three landscape characteristics: structure, function, and change. Spatially-explicit landscape models can articulate the linkages between natural and cultural variables.

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the landscape concept has been evolving towards a transdisciplinary perspective (Naveh 1991; Tress and Tress 2001) (see Box 1. He also emphasizes the significance of geography in history that, by accounting for the profound impact of ecological flows on landscape evolution, helps place it in a regional context and supports the recreation of ecological stages of the land. The ecological significance of spatial characteristics (size, shape, or spatial distribution) of landscape elements is given not by these characteristics per se, but by considering the effect of those characteristics on each other and on other elements of the landscape.Corporations must self-assess, and approve, their financial health grade for all three years in the CFFR with reference to the moderation section above. However, corporations may add supplementary tabs where this will help them to complete the required information.

Victoria Hills, Chief Executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) said: “This legislation brings our profession one step closer to delivering plans and decisions that will make places better. Local people should have priority, no doubt, but people who move around, are as much in need of affordable housing as people who stay put.

The Single Plot Exception Policy represents the best opportunity for anyone seeking permission to build an affordable home in the countryside through mainstream channels. ESFA will not accept files that have been completed in an incorrect version of the CFFR, those which have been structurally changed, or those where any protected elements have been altered, for instance columns or rows added or removed. The RTPI owes its gratitude to the many supportive Ministers, MPs and Peers across the political spectrum who’ve advocated strongly – and late into the night – for the importance of proactive planning or voted for measures that would support communities and planners to benefit from these reforms. Corporations or designated institutions, that are in a group structure with a higher education institution as their parent body, may apply for moderation of their autoscore grade or ESFA may wish to moderate the grade, taking into consideration the subsidiary / parent relationship. Other authors found social system variables to have a clear influence on spatial differentiation of ecological impacts (Pickett et al.
