Abstract
The Rural Development Grant operates the Redundant Building Grant whic h is designed to bring redundant buildings in certain areas into comme rcial activity. This paper outlines the results of a recent evaluation of the Grant largely based on contacts with more than 400 applicants in nine counties. This survey is used to explore five aspects of rural policy: property development; business performance; job creation; int egrated rural development; and aspects of land use planning.
