Home / Countywide projects / Rural Redundant Buildings Grant
Redundant Rural Building Grants are breathing new life into our rural communities. They are regenerating eyesores whilst creating new jobs and providing much needed community facilities.
Rural Redundant Buildings Grant
The Redundant Rural Building Grant programme is designed to award grants of up to 25% of eligible costs to help transform derelict rural buildings into economic use. The maximum grant is £50,000 and is subject to the necessary planning permissions being in place.
Lincolnshire Enterprise has contributed:
2006/2007 - £150,000
2007/2008 - £200,000
2008/2009 - £200,000
towards the success of the scheme.
Project aims:
- To support the conversion of redundant rural buildings
- Premises for start up businesses
- New catering facilities
- New retail stores and farm shops
- New tourism and leisure amenities
"Support from the grant meant that we were able to convert a derelict Listed building in the heart of Louth’s conservation area into luxury holiday accommodation. The building is now an asset to Louth’s economy rather than being an eyesore."
