Help with historic building repairs in the New ForestIf you are the owner of a listed building or building of historic interest within the New Forest National Park you may be eligible for a grant to help with repairs The New Forest National Park Authority operates a Historic Buildings Grant scheme which contributes towards the additional costs of materials or skills which are often specialist or more expensive.
Owners can apply for a grant which normally covers up to 30 per cent of the cost of works. Grants are offered towards the cost of repairs to the fabric of listed buildings, buildings at risk, historic buildings, structures and walls and the types of buildings that typify the New Forest.
A recent example of a building funded through the grant is Wootton Hall, which is thought to have once been three old cob cottages merged into one; funding was given for the repairs to its sash and French windows.
Anne-Marie Lomax, Building Conservation Officer at the New Forest National Park Authority, said: "We have received seven applications for grants so far this year including repairs to a roof, a timber framed barn, a timber fascia on a Grade 1 listed house and to a cob cottage.
"The grant is designed to help support people who own a listed building or building at risk who need help towards the cost of restoration."
The grant does not cover re-decoration, wiring, plumbing, heating or re-thatching.
