Processing times for planning applications are currently running with a 5/7 working day delay before we can start validating new applications. To focus resources on validation, we will not be responding to any requests for progress updates until we have had the application for 7 working days. We’re doing our best to process applications as fast as possible, and we appreciate your patience.
Does the council provide grants for historic buildings?
There are currently no grants available from the council for works to historic buildings.
Depending on the nature of the property and works you propose, opportunities may be available from Funds For Historic Buildings or through Historic England (usually for grade I or II* buildings at risk).
If you are proposing energy efficiency improvements, guidance can be found on the Home Energy Efficiency webpage.
