Grants for Protected Structures

Conservation Grant Scheme
A Conservation Grant Scheme is operated by the planning authority to assist the owner or occupier of a protected structure to undertake necessary works to secure its building fabric. The planning authority has a Scheme of Priorities to assist them in assessing applications. The standard grant is 50% of the approved cost of works, up to a maximum of €13,000. The planning authority may recommend, in exceptional circumstances, a grant of 75% of the approved cost of works, up to €25,000. The Grant Scheme is advertised early each year and the work must be completed with receipts submitted by year end. Click on the link above to download the application form.
