• An ongoing annual budget of £5,000 as per the Warwick Energy agreement with ERYC (over the 24 year lifespan of the planning permission this equates to £120,000)

• The allocation of monies will be subject to applications to the Liaison Committee in accordance with published guidelines

Future Activity October-December 2009
