Full council record

Purpose

Archaeological survey needed to allow elm planting at W Hythe to proceed. This was not included in FHDC grant already awarded.

Decision

Amount Awarded £495.00

Decision Reason:

The proposal to plant elm trees along the Royal Military Canal at West Hythe was supported by a Green Grant last year but had to be halted because the canal is a scheduled monument requiring an archaeological survey. This application is for funds for the archaeological survey and I happy to approve it.
