About the Capital Project Development and Delivery Programme
The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) is launching the Capital Project Development and Delivery Programme using part of its UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) allocation for 2025/26. The programme supports the development and delivery of community-focused capital projects across York and North Yorkshire. All funded work must be completed by March 2026
Understanding Project Stages
This programme has been designed to support capital projects which have already progressed beyond the feasibility stage. We are not funding early-stage or pre-feasibility work through this programme.
This programme will support:
Development-stage projects: Projects that have completed a feasibility study and are now taking the steps towards submitting a planning application. This typically includes design development, cost planning, and technical preparation. (RIBA Stages 2 – 3)
Delivery-stage projects: Projects that already have planning permission and are ready to begin construction or implementation. (RIBA Stages 4 – 5)
(The RIBA Plan of Work stages for Construction Projects may be used as a guide).
Objectives
Projects should aim to :
- Deliver capital improvements that benefit local communities
- Support spaces or initiatives such as community hubs, cultural/creative centres, or community energy schemes
- Attract future investment from regional or national sources
