Grants

It is possible to get financial help for the repair of buildings of outstanding architectural or historic interest.

English Heritage are a major source of grants awarding millions of pounds each year for repairs to historic buildings and ancient monuments. Grade I and Grade II* buildings may be eligible for English Heritage grants for urgent major repairs.

Local authorities may also award grants for any building of architectural or historical interest and are not restricted to outstanding buildings or even to listed buildings.

Appeals

If an application for listed building consent is refused by a local planning authority, or granted subject to conditions, the applicant has a right of appeal to the Secretary of State.

The procedure of appeal is almost identical to the procedure for appealing against a refusal of planning permission.
