NEWS! - GIS incentive for BWW

FCW has decided to introduce an incentive to encourage the uptake of GIS among those supporting the BWW scheme. Extra GIS consolidation fees can be claimed at a rate of £750 per plan for the first two plans submitted and approved where GIS has been utilised to prescribed standard. This effectively pays for the software itself, but don't forget you also need a powerful PC to run it on and training. To help with these costs, all subsequent GIS based plans submitted of the correct standard are to be paid at a flat rate of £250 per plan with no upper limit to claims but a deadline of 31st May 2008. At this stage FCW has no plans to pay enhanced rates for digital maps after 31st May 2008. more here
