Final opportunity to apply for a grant from Stromness THI

With over £600,000 available, there will be a range of Stromness THI grants on offer to properties within the Stromness Conservation Area for this final round.  To find out if your property is eligible to apply for a grant it will first need to be pointed scored against the Stromness THI assessment criteria which considers the current building, its location and the works proposed.  We will score buildings up to 30 March 2012, therefore, if interested in applying for a grant please contact us now.

If your property scores 10 points or more you would be eligible to apply for a small grant of 50% of eligible works, capped at £3000.   This is aimed at properties which may require only minor works to their property.

If your property scores between 16 and 39 points you would be eligible to apply for a grant of 50% of eligible works capped at £20,000.

If your property scores 40 points or more you would be eligible to apply for a grant of 50% of eligible works with no financial cap.

Commercial premises situated within the conservation area are also welcome to apply for the grants described above.  For small grants and grants capped at £20,000 commercial premises could gain up to 75% of total eligible costs.
