Please note: There are currently no live calls for bids for the Growing Places fund.

The GPF has awarded £6.5million in loans to date with 929 jobs created, 67,948 sq ft office space, 423,475 sq ft warehouse/commercial, 140 hotel/bedspaces and 394 houses*.

Successful projects will need to demonstrate that they will generate economic growth in a short space of time with the right infrastructure in place. They will need to show that they have a solid business case, are deliverable in a reasonably short timescale, will create jobs or housing and provide returns which can be reinvested locally by the LEP, in addition to attracting further private investment.
