Scotland Historic Building Repair Grant
What
is the funding for?
Financial help is available to owners to meet the cost of
high-quality repairs using traditional materials and specialist
craftsman to conserve original features in buildings of special
architectural or historic interest. In return,
owners must insure and maintain the building and allow some
access to visitors. Financial help is available to owners
in both the private and public sectors (home owners, trusts,
commercial undertakings, local authorities) to meet the cost
of high-quality repairs.
How
much money is available?
The grants awarded range from £10,000 to £500,000.
Who
can apply?
Applicants must be organisations or individuals who have a
legal responsibility for the repair of a historic building.
Applicants will normally need to own the building, or hold
a full repairing lease, which has at least 21 years to run,
or be able to demonstrate that you have an agreement to acquire
the property in question. There are a number of criteria which
have to be met before an award can be considered. The building
must be of sufficient outstanding architectural or historic
interest; the building must be at serious risk from neglect
or repair; and a need for grant for repairs to be undertaken
must be demonstrated.
When
to apply
The next closing date for applications is the 30th September
2010
