Respondent: Mr & Mrs A & J Hardy

Agent: SSA Planning Limited

In particular, account ought to be taken of existing funding, the real likelihood and scale of each impact and the effect that any requirement for contributions will have on the viability of businesses undertaking development during a period of extreme economic difficulty.
