Local planning authorities cannot ask for anyone to have an IFA status at a certain level as it is not a chartered organisation. You can request that someone demonstrates a level of experience; the generally recognised level of experience for managing a project is MIFA hence MIFA or equivalent.
I cannot see how a planning authority could state that an RAO should be used. It is probably possible if an organisation has lost its RAO to make this information public on documents such as contractor lists.
