Landscape protection and scheme continuity

The landscape passage on p. 60 covers recurrent and capital resources for maintaining existing recreation spaces and renewing neglected areas. The scheme-renewal statement is broad, but does not replace individual grant notices. Applicants need to check activity eligibility, eligible costs, application windows and whether support is a grant, service or project investment.
