Redundant Building Grant Scheme

Redundant Building Grants are provided for the conversion or refurbishment of redundant buildings (i.e. unused or unusable in their current state) to bring them back into productive business use, or to enhance their current business use. One of the key aims of the scheme is the creation of jobs, so the key criterion is that the building will be used for business purposes once the works are completed.

These grants are not available for conversion to, or refurbishment of, residential property, nor for buildings which will be used for agricultural or horticultural purposes. Grants under this scheme are available in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire excluding (Telford & Wrekin)

Eligible projects would include conversion or refurbishment, including upgrading of mains services, to provide facilities for:

• Manufacturing
• Crafts or service businesses
• Office premises
• Retail outlets

To find out more you can download a summary of the scheme, or a leaflet, by clicking the appropriate resource from the box below, and contacting the Programme Manager to discuss your proposal and confirm that your project is eligible. You will be asked to complete a Stage 1 Enquiry Form, which can be downloaded in Word or PDF format using the links below. If the details of your project meet the initial criteria and priorities of the scheme, you will be invited to complete a full application.
