Maximum amounts
Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme grants cover up to:
- 75% of the cost of eligible building repair works
- 90% of the cost of eligible shopfront repairs
How we decide grant amounts
To get a grant, you must go through a full application process.
During this process, we'll decide:
- whether your works are eligible
- the amount we'll award
When we pay grants
In most cases, we'll only pay a grant once:
- all works have been completed
- you've submitted your final accounts
If you get a large grant, we may pay this in stages. We'll agree this with you before your work begins.
VAT
You do not have to pay VAT on your grant.
If you have questions about any tax issues related to your project, you can contact HMRC.
When you might need to pay back some of your grant
We'll ask you to pay back some of your grant if you sell your property during the 15-year 'monitoring period'.
You'll need to pay this money to either:
- Historic Environment Scotland
- Stirling Council
'Clawback' rates
The amount you need to pay back will depend on the amount of time that's passed since your works ended.
