The overall aim of the Objective One programme was to create a more prosperous Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, where all communities share in an improving quality of life.
The Programme was governed by the Single Programming Document which formed the contract between the UK and the EC. It contains rules for how this European money was spent to achieve this aim. The Programme had set five Priorities and every project needed to fit within the detailed criteria of a least one priority. These Priorities were:
| • |
Business support |
| • |
Strategic investment |
| • |
Developing people |
| • |
Community development; Agriculture and fishing |
| • |
Regional distinctiveness |
There were also three ‘cross-cutting’ themes that were of such importance that all projects were required to address the issues involved. These were:
| • |
Environmental sustainability |
| • |
Equal opportunities |
| • |
Information communications technology (ICT) |
The ten investment clusters were devised to group together the approved projects in the Objective One Programme under clear headings showing how the projects have delivered the aims of the Programme. The ten investment clusters were as follows:
| • |
Business Support |
| • |
Digital Infrastructure |
| • |
Infrastructure |
| • |
Local Produce and Added Value |
| • |
Public Realm |
| • |
Sites and Premises |
| • |
The Knowledge Economy |
| • |
The Way to Work |
| • |
Tourism |
| • |
Training and Skills |
Some projects could be classified in more than one investment cluster, but will only be listed within their main investment cluster.
