I said maybe, this goverment through the pandemic has kept many in work and many small businesses will survive due to this goverments unprecedented financial support and plus they have poured huge amounts of cash into the NHS.

Just been looking at an Appeal document submitted by planners at TDC  regarding this issue (see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47069 ) . This is what they say: (my emphasis in bold).
