1.2	All	Clarification: Name of the lead applicant should be the name of the organisation, not an individual.	N/A
1.9	Challenge Fund (CF) consortium applicant, Strategic Partnership (SP) consortium applicant	Omission: List of consortium members doesn바카라 사이트™t explicitly ask for consortium lead to be included, nor does it automatically pull this information from the earlier consortium lead question. Yet this table then pulls into subsequent Section 2 questions, risking the consortium lead being missed out.	The list of consortium members in 1.9 must include the consortium lead.
1.29 (CF) / 1.27 (SP)	All	Clarification: Signature question does not require an actual signature, only the indicated fields need to be completed.	N/A
2.4/2.5	All	Omission: The question guidance does not specify whether the figure should include homes which are already at EPC C+ and are included in the project for infill purposes; or for the installation of LCH.	The figure listed for this question should not include homes which are already at EPC C+.

It will not impact their application.
3.4/3.5 (CF) / 3.3/3.4 (SP)	All	Error: There are two scenarios in which the 바카라 사이트˜Issue Identified바카라 사이트™ box incorrectly indicates that 바카라 사이트˜Co-funding contribution is less than 50%바카라 사이트™. a) When applicants indicate homes will access the on gas grid low carbon heating incentive offer. Grant funding for these homes does not need to be matched with co-funding. b) When applicants want to request a grant funding amount that is less than the maximum available grant funding.	Both: In either of these scenarios, applicants should ignore this 바카라 사이트˜Issue Identified바카라 사이트™ message. It will not impact their application. But a short explanation for the level of co-funding stated in this question must then be provided in the subsequent 바카라 사이트˜sources of proposed co-funding contribution바카라 사이트™ question. b) only: The actual requested grant funding amount will need to be formally communicated to DESNZ at a later date, so it can be correctly listed in the GFA. DESNZ will provide more information on this process to relevant applicants at a later date.
3.8 (CF) / 3.7 (SP)	All	Omission: Lack of clarity as to whether the examples listed in the question guidance must be addressed.	Applicants are expected to reference at least two approaches from the list provided in the question guidance.
