Could your shopfront benefit from restoration or improvement?
Our £400,000 heritage shopfront grant scheme is offering grants of up to £30,000 towards eligible improvements to shopfronts within the Lichfield City centre conservation area.
The scheme will help businesses and property owners restore historic features, improve the appearance and accessibility of their premises and contribute to a more attractive and welcoming city centre.
About the scheme
The heritage shopfront grant scheme has been created to support high-quality improvements that celebrate Lichfield’s distinctive character and encourage continued investment in the city centre.
A total of £400,000 is available, with different levels of support depending on the nature and scale of the proposed work.
The scheme is competitive and discretionary.
Funding is limited and submitting an expression of interest or full application does not guarantee that a grant will be awarded.
