Parish and town councils can submit proposals for spending New Homes Bonus allocations for their area. Find out how much your parish or town still has left to draw down using the New Homes Bonus lookup - the figures exclude any monies we have approved but not yet paid.
To make an application complete our document NHB proposal form (246 KB) and email it to us with supporting evidence that you have consulted with the community. We suggest you read our document guidance notes (160 KB) before completing your form.
Any proposals over £1,000 will go to our Communities and Funding Advisory Panel for approval. The next meetings of the panel and the deadline date for all applications are as follows:
15 June 2020 - deadline for proposals 29 May
7th September 2020 – deadline for proposals 20 August
2nd November 2020 – deadline for proposals 15 October.

Community consultation
We require ALL parish and town councils to consult with their communities about how New Homes Bonus allocations for their areas should be spent and to provide evidence that they have done so.
You could do this by holding public meetings, putting flyers through doors, using social media, putting notices around the parish and in parish magazines. Have a look at our community consultation guidance for further suggestions. If you do not tell your community how much New Homes Bonus you have available to spend and invite views on how it should be spent we will not consider any proposals you submit to us.
