A developer is encouraging community groups to apply for up to £100,000 in funding.

Pennyfarthing Homes is backing the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Fund scheme run by New Forest District Council, which is offering around £1 million this year to support projects that improve infrastructure or benefit the community.

The funding comes from CIL contributions paid by developers as part of new housing developments.

Nick Stone, land and planning director for Pennyfarthing Homes, said: "Creating new homes is about much more than building houses; it's about helping to create sustainable, thriving communities.

"The Community Infrastructure Levy plays an important role in ensuring that investment from new development is channelled back into the places where people live, work and spend their time."

Contributions include more than £600,000 from Sandle Park and Danes Park in New Milton will make more than £1.3 million in CIL contributions.
