Locality Budget Grants

<p>Small annual grant scheme of £2,000 for each Ward Councillor to initiate new projects or to provide additional funding to match already committed resources. The budgets can be used for projects within a councillor's ward or for projects outside of the ward where people from within a councillor's ward can participate.  </p>
<p>There is also the option for a number of councillors to pool their individual allocation, up to a maximum of £12,000 to deliver larger scale projects.</p>
<p>This table is updated at the close of each financial year.  For more information visit <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><a href="http://colchester.cmis.uk.com/colchester/Councillors.aspx"><span style="color: #0563c1;">CMIS > Councillors</span></a>.</span></p>

Strategic Arts Grants

<p>This annual CBC funding combines with that awarded by Arts Council England and Essex County Council, as well as other public, private and commercial sources of income, to enable the organisations to contribute towards the Creative Colchester Strategy as well as the broader aims of the Council’s Strategic Plan, and to run a wide range of targeted community and outreach activities. It also acts as an important stream of match funding to unlock additional external grants. </p>
<p>Performance is monitored against annual service level agreements and the organisations appear before the Scrutiny Panel on a regular basis. Cabinet nominates a Member to represent the Council on the Boards of all three organisations. Between 2014/15 and 2015/16 the grant to Firstsite was reduced by a total of 15%; the grant to the Mercury Theatre by 10%; and the grant to the Arts Centre by 5%. These reductions were made in consultation with the organisations and in recognition of the pressures on the Council’s budget during this period. In 2016/17 and 2017/18 the grants were frozen with no inflationary increase.</p>

Social Housing Assets

<p>The Council is required to publish this information under the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 set out by the Department of Local Government (DCLG), now the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).  </p>
<p>The Council has followed this guidance on data protection when compiling this information.  The guidance requires the data for individual postcode sectors to be merged so that each postcode sector or merged postcode sectors contains at least 2,500 households.  It also requires the data for valuation bands to be combined  when the number of occupied social housing properties in any valuation band is less than 10.  The data is merged with the next lowest valuation band so that no individual valuation band contains the data for less than 10 properties.</p>
<p>This guidance requires Councils to explain the difference between the tenanted sale value of dwellings within the Housing Revenue Account and their market sale value and to include assurance that the publication of this information is not intended to suggest that tenancies should end to realise the market value of properties. The market value is the Council’s estimate of the total sum that it would receive if all the dwellings were sold on the open market. The existing use value for social housing value (EUV-SH) is calculated on the basis of rents receivable on existing tenancies. These are less than the rent that would be obtainable on the open market, and the EUV-SH value is therefore lower than the market value. The difference between the two values therefore shows the economic cost of providing housing at less than market value.</p>

The Open Space Strategy was approved by the Council's Policy and Strategy and Planning Committees at the end of September 2010.  The preparation of an open space strategy is a recent requirement of national planning policy, requiring the creation of an audit, a strategy and action plans. The implementation of the strategy and action plans will be monitored and every five years, from 2015, the strategy will be reviewed and updated. Further information can be found in the open space audit at http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/file/1286/open_space_audit.

GB Regions of Provenance

Regions of Provenance Great Britain is divided into four Regions of Provenance. http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-72KLDL
These are defined areas within which similar ecological and climatic characteristics are found. They provide a framework for specifying sources of Forest Reproductive Material (FRM). For native species, these Regions of Provenance have been split into a total of 24 non-statutory native seed zones. Seed zones are in turn divided where appropriate into two altitude zones, below 300m and above 300m. There is a different set of seed zones for native Scots Pine. Definitions of Origin and Provenance The origin of FRM describes that part of the natural range of the species from which the material originally derived. The term provenance is used to describe the location of the source from which the reproductive material was collected.

Listed Buildings

Buildings are listed by Historic Scotland for their special architectural or historic interest on behalf of the Scottish Government. The aim of listing such buildings is to protect or enhance their special character by affording them statutory protection. The principles for listing buildings are fairly complex and there is no right of appeal against the Scottish Governments decision to list a property.

Listed buildings are listed in 3 categories - A, B and C.

Category A listed buildings are of national or international importance. 
Category B listed buildings are of regional importance.
Category C buildings are of local importance. 

A building¿s listing covers its interior, exterior and ¿any object or structure fixed to a building¿ or which falls within the curtilage of such a building, forming part of the land since before 1 July 1948.
