Funded from Community Infrastructure Levy receipts collected on new development in those wards. Open year-round on a rolling basis, with applications considered by Cabinet twice yearly.

Amount

Up to £10,000 preferred; larger capital grants can be considered

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

Distinct from the Greener Chelmsford Grant, which the council's own page confirms is currently closed pending reopening — not modelled here as it is not currently accepting applications.
