About the grant
The Heritage Building Improvement Grant is a grant scheme for property owners and tenants to undertake repairs and other works to improve the condition and appearance of their building and therefore enhance the character of the conservation areas within the borough. This grant scheme is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
There is £35,000 available to allocate during the financial year 2025/26. To be eligible for a grant, you must be the registered owner of a building or have a repairing lease which covers the external fabric of the building with the lease running until at least 31 March 2026. The building must be located within a conservation area or its immediate setting. Grants will be offered covering 50% of the costs of repairs to the external fabric of buildings and 80% of the costs of restoration and reinstatement of key architectural features upon the external elevations of buildings.
Grant applications can be made by completing the grant application form and returning to conservation@hinckley-bosworth.gov.uk. For further information on the grant scheme and the application process please read the accompanying guidance notes.
The grant scheme will remain open for applications until 5pm on Friday 29 August. If all funds have been allocated before this date the grant scheme will be closed early.
