Other important information

Funding is limited and subject to budget availability. Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee funding, and the Council reserves the right to close the scheme or amend priorities if funding is fully committed.

Applicants will be expected to contribute match funding or demonstrate private sector investment, particularly for larger or growth‑focused projects. Requirements will be confirmed at full application stage.

Applicants are responsible for securing any necessary planning permission, listed building consent, landlord approval, or other statutory consents. Applicants should be aware that securing permissions can take time and are encouraged to consider this early when planning their project and indicative timescales.

For queries on whether you need planning permission, a Duty Planning Officer is available by telephone on 01633 644 831, Monday-Friday, 10am–2pm.

All awards will be subject to standard grant conditions, including project delivery timescales, monitoring requirements, evidence of spend, and clawback provisions if conditions are not met.

Applicants may be required to demonstrate that works and services have been procured in a fair and transparent way, in line with grant conditions and applicable procurement rules.

Grant funding may be subject to UK Subsidy Control rules. Applicants will be asked to provide information at full application stage to ensure compliance.

Any significant changes to the project scope, costs, or delivery timescale after submission must be agreed in advance. Changes may affect eligibility for funding.

Funded projects may be required to acknowledge the support received and participate in reasonable publicity or case‑study activity.

Information provided as part of the application process will be handled in accordance with data protection legislation and may be shared internally for appraisal and monitoring purposes.

If you are unsure whether your project is suitable or need clarification before submitting an EOI, you are encouraged to contact the programme team for initial guidance.
