One of the key drivers of the fund is sustainability. Sustainable development recognises that people’s quality of life and the vitality of local neighbourhoods is dependent on a variety of social and economic factors as well as the quality of the local environment. A sustainability checklist has been developed to encourage you to take an integrated approach to your project and shape it so that it delivers environmental benefits as well as social benefits, jobs and wealth.
