The 'Award Value Type' lets you know if the grant award is unlimited, has a maximum award amount or has an other award amount such as various stage awards, etc.
The 'Amount Awarded in £' shows the maximum amount awarded, but it only shows grants where the award amount is fixed and not unlimited or has varying amounts for example.
In the 'Area Covered Type' where 'other area type' is an option this is because the award may have criteria specific to an area around a postcode or town/village or near a particular facility such as a landfill site.
