As part of the Future High Streets Fund (FHSF) Front Door Interventions Scheme (FDS) the Renew project has been allocated £300K to administer grants to businesses looking to occupy and renovate vacant properties in the FHSF zone.
A decision report was approved by Executive Director, in consultation with the Interim Director of Legal Services and the Chair of the Finance Sub-Committee on 29th September 2022, to allocate £112,192.75 to 3 businesses to proceed with the occupation and renovation of vacant properties in the FHSF zone.
The decision being sought is to increase the first round of funds allocated to £113,397.37 (due to a planning application rejection) and enter into grant agreements with businesses that have gone through the application approval process to proceed with the occupation and renovation of vacant properties in the FHSF zone.
It is proposed that Juno Books will be allocated £13,397.37 (original allocation of £12,192.75) to take into account the rejection of a planning application for external shutters and the financial consequences of that rejection.
