the unresolved issues and the steps taken to resolve them; and
the terms agreed, or where the terms have not been agreed, recommendations as to what terms would be appropriate.
	The appointed person must take into account any template or model terms published by the Secretary of State. Regulations can also set out other details about what the appointed person must and must not take account of.
	The local planning authority must publish the report in line with any requirements set out in regulations. Regulations may also provide a process for making revisions to a report.
	An appointed person may be appointed to consider two or more planning applications at the same time if the same or similar issues arise under them. In such circumstances a single report may be produced.
