Rural England Prosperity Fund
The Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) aims to improve productivity and strengthen the rural economy and rural communities. The REPF is a top-up to and complementary to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and succeeds EU funding from LEADER and the Growth Programme which were part of the Rural Development Programme for England. To drawdown the funding, an addendum to the UKSPF Investment Plan was submitted to Government on 30 November 2022 by East Suffolk Council. The submitted and approved addendum identified the challenges and opportunities for the East Suffolk's rural businesses and communities through data driven evidence and stakeholder consultation to shape our priorities for REPF funding.

Biodiversity Net Gain
What is Biodiversity Net Gain?
The Environment Act 2021 (legislation.gov.uk) lays out how Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) can contribute to the recovery of nature whilst still allowing land to developed. The purpose of BNG is to ensure that more habitats are available, and that they are in a better condition, than before development occurred. All relevant planning applications will be required to demonstrate how they achieve 10% Biodiversity Gain as part of the development. This will involve the submission of a Biodiversity Gain Plan, Statutory Biodiversity Metric and Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan for approval by the Local Planning Authority.
