Partnership Schemes in Conservation Areas

Historic England offers funding to help local authorities preserve and improve conservation areas. You can get between £100,000 and £300,000 for heritage projects. The money supports building repairs, improvements, and regeneration work in historic areas. This is a partnership scheme between Historic England, local authorities, and other funders. The funding helps ensure conservation areas have a sustainable future. You need to work with other funding bodies as part of the partnership. The deadline to apply is 1 April 2026. Only local authorities in England can apply for this funding.

This grant is for local authorities in England who want to preserve and improve conservation areas. You need to work in partnership with Historic England and other funding bodies. It is not for private businesses, charities, or individuals.

Local authorities can apply for funding under our Partnership Schemes in Conservation Areas scheme. These schemes are run on a day-to-day basis by local authorities and are designed to target funding for the preservation and enhancement of conservation areas. They are based on a partnership between us, the Local Authority and other funding bodies and are designed to ensure the long term sustainable future of conservation areas, in particular through supporting heritage-based regeneration initiatives.
