Information requirements for rural enterprise applications

To allow informed consideration all applications made under this policy will be expected to be accompanied with the following information: • sufficient evidence to indicate how realistic the particular proposal is and what sources of finance are available (including any grant aid) to sustain the project. • an assessment of the likely contribution the enterprise will make to the local economy and information on the level of community support. • detailed information of an exhaustive search to illustrate that there is no reasonable prospect of securing a suitable site within the limits of the particular settlement. • justification for the particular site chosen and illustrative details of the proposed design and site layout.
