Aims/priorities: This scheme covers grants for the repair and conservation of listed buildings, scheduled monuments and registered parks and gardens. Grants are primarily awarded for urgent repairs or other work required to address risk by preventing loss or damage to important architectural, archaeological or landscape features.
The funding is for projects that involve one of the following:
- A building listed at grade I or II.
- A building listed at grade II and within a conservation area or a London borough.
- A scheduled monument.
- A park or garden registered at grade I or II.
- An unlisted building of significant historic or architectural interest and within a conservation area or a London borough.
- A park or garden registered at grade II and within a conservation area or a London borough.
Who can apply? Applicants must be the organisation or individual who has legal responsibility for the repair of the relevant listed building, scheduled monument or registered park/garden.
Applicants will normally need to demonstrate that they fulfil one of the following conditions:
- They own the property outright or hold a full repairing lease, which has at least 21 years to run.
- They have an agreement to acquire the property in question, either outright or by a full repairing lease of at least 21 years.
If the applicant is not the sole owner, they must inform Historic England and ask any other interested party to sign the declaration at the end of the application form.
Grant amount: There is no standard rate for individual grants. Grants are awarded at the discretion of Historic England and will depend on the nature of the project and the work that is needed.
Funding offers will only be made when there is evidence of financial need - i.e. there is a shortfall in the funding needed for the project to go ahead, which only the grant can fill.
Application process: Applicants are advised to contact their local Historic England office to discuss their project before applying. The contact details for these offices can be found on the Historic England website.
Deadline: Not specified.
