"To be eligible for funding, the applicant organisation must have a constitution or set of rules, demonstrate that they have consulted facility users/the local community, provide any other evidence of need for the project, and have the written support of the local Parish Council."
Overall I believe that it must be shown that it is a benefit to the community. There must be also I believe s106 housing developments within your parish, so that the local community can draw off the funding, (and it takes ages). Good luck.
