7.3.2 Grants of up to £10,000 (with grants of up to £25,000 consider for exceptional projects) from the community funds will be awarded to eligible community-led initiatives across four key themes which have been identified in consultation with the local authorities based on the impacts/opportunities arising from the development:

b. Local skills and employment support;
c. Connecting communities; and
d. Environment.
Fund Allocation
7.3.3 Funding allocation has been apportioned based on the number of wards considered likely to experience the most change during the construction of the Project, and where the Environmental Impact Assessment and other assessment documents within the DCO application have identified risks of significant adverse effects across more than one environmental topic area during construction. These wards are identified in Table 7.2.
