The first step in the application process is to contact the URBAN II Hetton and Murton Community Initiative Development Team.

The application process has two stages. The first stage is optional, it is designed to enable the Partnership to give feedback on potential project applications. The expression of interest is a broad description of a project idea. Completed on a standard form, the expression enables the relevant Working Group to comment on the proposal before the work required to make a full application is committed.

The second and compulsory stage is a full application. In order to make a full application the potential project sponsor must complete the relevant form and produce a project business plan. The information required will describe the proposed project in detail.

The full application is presented to the relevant Working Group and the Co-ordination Group. It is those Groups that will decide whether the Partnership will support the proposed project. If a project is endorsed by the Partnership is will undergo a formal appraisal and approval process.
