So you’re ready to submit your TIP

Towns are putting a great amount of work and energy into developing evidenced, innovative and compelling TIPs. Working with our CLGU colleagues, two of our Town Coordinators have pulled together all the practical information you need to submit your TIP to make the process as simple as possible. Here’s their answers to your most commonly asked questions based on the submission guidance from MHCLG.

What should you include within your submission?

Your submission must include 3 documents:

  1. TIP document (Part 1)- as a PDF.

  2. TIP document (Part 1)- as a word document.

  3. Project excel (Part 2).

Your submission could also include these 2 optional documents:

  1. Any annexes you may want to include within your submission combined into a single ‘annex’ document.

  2. Letters of support from the Council or other project partners.

Your TIP document Part 1 can be no longer than 10,000 words.

What is included within the 20MB file size limit?

  • Both Part 1 (PDF only) and Part 2 should cumulatively not exceed a file size of 20MB.

  • Annexes can be included if deemed essential as a separate, combined document.

  • The 20MB file size excludes any annexes or the TIP document Part 1 MS Word version.

Who do you send your submission to?

How do you send in your submission?

  • Ideally combine all documents as a single ZIP file and attach to your submission email.

  • If this ZIP file exceeds 20MB, try and combine just the TIP Part 1 (pdf) and Part 2 documents into a single ZIP file. The TIP Part 1 (word document) and any annexes can then be sent using online file transfer.

  • MHLCG will accept the use of an online file transfer such as Dropbox to send files. However, access to the file transfer tool and the submission will need to be organised for MHCLG.

  • Alternatively, you could send your submission spread out over multiple emails if file size is causing problems.

When do you send your submission?

  • You need to send your TIP and any annexes by 11:59PM on the submission day.

If you have any questions, or have any specific circumstances relating to your town, please ask your local CLGU contact and your Town Coordinator for tailored advice for submitting your TIP.
