Note on Value for Money Questions - Project Registration

3 Apr 2011

There are a number of small changes to the value for money questions which we ask you to complete when you register a project. We have also added some new questions to help us report on the scheme.

These are:

  • Where applicable, please estimate the number of new or existing jobs as a result of the development of this project.
  • Where applicable, please estimate the number of users that currently use the site per year (please note that 1 user is a person who may visit the facility more than once a year. For example, 1 person visiting the facility 10 times in a year counts as only 1 user).
  • Where applicable, please estimate the current footfall of the site per year (please note that the footfall counts every visit. For example, 1 person visiting the facility 10 times in a year counts as a footfall of 10).
  • Please estimate the footfall of the site per year after the project has completed (please note that the footfall counts every visit. For example, 1 person visiting the facility 10 times in a year counts as a footfall of 10).
  • Where applicable, please estimate the number of schools which currently visit the site.
  • If you anticipate that the project will increase school visits once completed, please estimate by how many.
  • What is the total value of LCF funding that will be used to make improvements or provide improved facilities for people with disabilities?
  • If you are able to, please estimate the estimated total utility cost saving of the project per annum once the project is complete
  • What is the local authority area for the project site (County or Unitary)?

We understand that you may not currently collect this information, although we would expect that this information is collected and fully reported to us by 01 June 2011.
