Summary

The PCHF’s aim is to encourage sustainable economic and social recovery within the Perth Central and Kinnoull Conservation Areas by grant-assisting owners of historic buildings with the costs of high quality repairs to their homes using traditional materials and best conservation practice. Grants are split into three categories:

Major Grants – Comprehensive repairs to historic tenements, usually in multiple ownership – Repairs to historic buildings used or owned by local charities – Unused or under-used historic buildings, usually in single-ownership, being brought back into use

Small Grants The small grants scheme will be based on various themes and is available to cover smaller scale, isolated or single ownership repairs to historic fabric e.g. window and door repairs; shop fronts; rainwater goods; chimneys etc. – Window repair or reinstatement – Decorative and leaded glass – Repair or full reinstatement of an historic shop front – Repair of individual critical elements: such as rainwater goods; chimneys; common closes; door cases; masonry; leadwork

Environmental Enhancement (Quick Impact Projects) Grants of this type respond to opportunities for historic fabric repair or enhancement of the historic environment linked to other projects. For example: – Small items of public realm e.g. vennel cobbles/slabs, particularly around grant assisted projects – Signage – Sculpture – Gates – Decorative rainwater hoppers etc. – Other items of historic significance; artistic or technological impact; indeterminate ownership; or additions to other grants, but which will add impact to the completed project.
