Guidance: Project Adjustment Requests
All Towns Fund places, whether a recipient of Town Deals or the Future High Streets Fund competition should now use the same form for submitting Project Adjustment Requests (PARs).
The Department has delegated some decision-making on PARs to Town Deal Boards and Local Authorities. This allows places to modify the agreed spend, outputs and outcomes against any project by up to 30% without requiring formal clearance from the Department.
HOWEVER:
The PAR Form linked below must still be submitted for every change request.
The Department must confirm whether each PAR is delegated or not.
All interventions must still meet Towns Fund value for money requirements.
We have also publicly committed to a 20 working-day turnaround for any PAR decisions that are not delegated to get projects off the ground and allow for a quicker response to any delivery issues. All PAR Forms should be submitted to [email protected] CC’ing in your dedicated Cities and Local Growth Unit Area Lead for information.
