 SHIRE Grants - Grant Aid for Historic BuildingsFinancial assistance and specialist technical advice in relation to the repair of
historic buildings is seen as one of the most important ways of meeting the County Council's objective
of Protecting and Enhancing the Environment.
Financial help and advice is offered because the maintenance and repair of historic
structures can be difficult and expensive, particularly if natural materials and traditional methods
of repair have to be used in order to preserve the character of a building. Such materials and techniques
may also be vital to maintain a building in a proper and sound state - modern components may actually
damage older building fabric in the long term. Although the County Council aims to help as many property
owners as possible, this support is discretionary and owners of historic buildings have no automatic
entitlement to a grant
Types of buildings eligible for grant
You can find out if your building
falls into any of these categories by contacting the building conservation officers in the Heritage
and Resources Team at County Hall. Please telephone 0116 305 7082. Grants put
local people at the heart of community involvement with the choice, decision making and leadership
for community improvements placed firmly with communities themselves. The process is set out in Community
Involvement (pdf).
Guidance Notes and the Application form are available below in Acrobat pdf format.
