3. Highland Coastal Communities Fund – Assessment of Applications
Maoin Coimhearsnachdan Cladaich na Gàidhealtachd – Measadh Iarrtasan                                                                          

There is circulated Report No ERA/10/21 dated 7 January 2021 by the Executive Chief Officer: Infrastructure and Environment.

The Committee is asked to:

i. agree whether the area allocation is to be administered as one budget or whether the overall allocation should be split by ward;
ii. consider all applications presented for funding and agree whether to approve, defer or reject the application.  An approval of funding should detail the amount approved and outline any conditions of funding that Members wish to attach to the approval over and above the required technical conditions.  A deferral would allow an applicant to resubmit the current application at a future date with updated information.  A rejection would mean that the application will not proceed and any future application to the fund should be brought forward initially as a new expression of interest; and 
iii. agree which applications should receive a funding award from HCCF up to the value of the available area allocation.
