How the design of places helps to deliver sustainable development.

Business and community groups can apply for grants to regenerate seaside towns.

Under the £1.45 million Coastal Communities Fund, grants are available to fund projects that boost the economic prospects of Welsh coastal communities. Examples could include projects to fund regeneration through tourism activities or business start-up and expansion.

The Coastal Communities Fund, delivered by BIG Fund, the non-lottery funding operation of the Big Lottery Fund, has been developed in partnership with the Welsh Government.

The fund is designed to support the economic development of coastal communities by promoting sustainable economic growth and jobs.

Capital and revenue grants in excess of £50,000 are available for a wide range of applicant organisations and projects.

Consideration will be taken of how plans for economic growth address the local needs and priorities, the amount of jobs that will be created and their long-term sustainability.

Applicants will be expected to show that their project will contribute to the Coastal Community Fund programme outcome.

The Coastal Communities Fund is due to run initially for three years.
