The Courts Service discusses what constitutes value for money for the Exchequer but that is not the only consideration. The witnesses would accept that we must take into account the national planning framework, a new Government emphasis on the benefit to town centres, spatial strategies and climate and environment concerns, as referenced by Ms Matthews. There is also the question of demographics and caseloads. The witnesses would accept that much more is to be considered.
