Address the criteria in our policies on relief

You should specifically address the criteria set out in our regulatory guides on relief (listed below).

For example, in your application you should particularly address the commercial benefit and any net regulatory benefit or detriment from granting the relief you seek. If you think you have special circumstances or you are disproportionately affected by the FSR provisions, clearly set out your reasons.
