Listed building grants

Unfortunately there are currently no grant schemes running for listed buildings within North Wiltshire.

In previous years, grant schemes were intended to help owners in carrying out thorough repair to their historic building.  This often included improvements to shop fronts and commercial premises by putting fronts back to the original design, or to a design that is appropriate to the period and location. Only certain works qualify for grants and these would of normally included major repairs to the roof and façade areas including stonework, brickwork and joinery.

Our Assets, Design & Regeneration Team can still give advice and technical information on working on listed buildings, ie. what materials to be used or repairing wooden windows.  The team can be reached on 01249 706694.
