- The application must state the names of other organisations to which application for grant aid has been made.
- The organisation must agree to provide the Parish Council with receipts of all transactions where grant aid from the Parish has been used.
- Any grant offered by the Parish Council is made on the understanding that the applicant remains responsible for gaining all necessary permissions (planning or otherwise) and the granting of money by the Parish Council should not in any way be taken as authorisation.
Successful applications will be recorded in the minutes of meetings of Parish Council and notified to the applicant in writing.
