The Project Development Grant (PDG) scheme is intended to assist an organisation to cover some of the costs of developing and co-ordinating a project and taking it towards the start of work on site.
To qualify, an organisation must have established that the end use of the project is likely to be viable and have decided to take the project forward.
The Project Development Grant (PDG) can cover some of the costs of developing and co-ordinating a project from after basic viability has been established up until work starts on site.
The maximum amount is up to £25,000. The total may include a combination of non-recoverable professional fees of up to £15,000 and project organiser costs also of up to £15,000.
A clear demonstration of the project’s likely financial viability is required before an application will be accepted.
Organisation’s must be a registered charity or a not for profit organisation that is formally constituted and has a legal structure to apply.
The building must have statutory protection through listing, or be in a conservation area and of acknowledged architectural or historic merit, and be at risk (on account of functional, structural, financial and/or other problems). The building must be capable of beneficial re-use. You must have, or intend to obtain ‘title’ to the building ('title' means either the freehold, or a leasehold of at least 25 years and one day).
