A colleague recommended that where I am purchasing in Aldersgate I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

I am buying my first flat in Aldersgate with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it could affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
