RES Programme  is projecting over-spend for 2014-15 (compared with allocated budget)

The two  not-started proposals for 2014-15 are now proposed to be delayed and re-scheduled for 2015-16 , re-submitted as part of the 15-16 planning process.

This will bring the RES Programme budget back into balance
