The conservation grant under urban renewal forms part of the National Development Plan 2000-06. It is supported by the European Union under the regional operational programmes for the Border, midland and west, BMW, and southern and eastern regions. Funding is provided to bodies such as local authorities, civic trusts, etc. to upgrade public buildings of significant architectural and heritage merit. The applications for the BMW region are under consideration currently and I expect to make a decision on them shortly.
