Grants

It is possible to get financial help for the repair of buildings of outstanding architectural or historic interest.

Historic Scotland provides financial assistance to private owners towards the costs of conserving and repairing such buildings. About a third of the agency's expenditure is in grants to private owners.

Local authorities may also award grants for any buildings of architectural or historic interest.

Appeals

If an application for listed building consent is refused by a local planning authority, or granted subject to conditions, the applicant has a right of appeal to the Secretary of State.

The procedure of appeal is almost identical to the procedure for appealing against a refusal of planning permission.
