3.3  Given Assumptions

3.3.1  The Model contains a number of given assumptions on the input sheets. For example, the standard Treasury 3.5% real discount rate and the General Fund 'Pool' Rate assumption of 6.3% on worksheet 'I (Gen)'. Whilst these may be changed by users in completing the Model, DCLG would expect the Authority to provide adequate supporting notes justifying these changes, or a statement outlining why a given assumption is being used in order to assist DCLG in its evaluation of the Model.
