Growing Places Fund advice and support
 

BBP Regeneration and Shared Intelligence have been appointed by the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) to provide support in the allocation of the Growing Places Fund.

 

The Growing Places Fund has been designed to unlock stalled projects by providing investment capital to support the provision of infrastructure. One of the key features of the fund is that government has stated that the initial allocation should be used to establish a sustainable revolving fund.

 

We are working with the LEP to develop options for the management and governance of the £32.5 million allocation, developing criteria for the approval of projects and undertaking a ‘light touch' appraisal of those shortlisted for funding. We are working closely with the LEP Board and Senior Officers to ensure that the fund is managed in such a way as to maximise the benefits to the LEP area as a whole.

Outer London Fund Bid
 

BBP has been appointed by the London Borough of Wandsworth to prepare an Outer London Fund Round 2 funding bid for Roehampton town centre.

 

The Outer London Fund will provide £50 million of funding over the next three years to strengthen the vibrancy and economic growth potential of outer London's high streets and surrounding areas. The purpose is to bring local communities together to deliver a range of projects which will provide a much needed boost to local economic centres and promote joint-working amongst local organisations and individuals.

 

Despite being close to other affluent areas, Roehampton experiences deprivation, has a comparatively poor retail offer and public realm, and has connectivity issues. Each of these is to be addressed through a series of projects and initiatives currently under development, including seasonal festivals, new community groups and public realm improvements. BBP will prepare a funding bid that develops the business case for Roehampton's regeneration plans, demonstrating a clear alignment between the objectives of this and the awarding criteria of the Outer London Fund.
