About Pennine Prospects

Pennine Prospects was established on the 21st April 2005 to support the regeneration of the South Pennines. The company is owned by the key local authorities, water companies, Natural England and voluntary/community sector and builds upon the good work carried out over the last twenty years by the Standing Conference of South Pennine Authorities (SCOSPA). The focus upon protecting the built, natural and cultural heritage for the benefit of the area’s residents remains important for Pennine Prospects, but the brief has broadened to better link the urban and rural regeneration processes across the three city regions that we sit at the centre of (Leeds, Manchester and Central Lancashire).

The Board of Pennine Prospects has agreed a two year Business Plan setting out priorities for action. A number of important opportunities for investment in the South Pennines are being pursued this year with our funding partners.
