At the present time WDC has imposed a moratorium on all discretionary grants. For more information telephone (01502) 523158 / 523156. This does not affect Disabled Facilities Grants .


A Renovation Grant is a discretionary grant which is available where larger scale works are required to make a house fit for habitation or to put a dwelling into reasonable repair.

The type of work that might qualify for grant aid is work to remedy instability, serious disrepair, severe dampness, lighting and ventilation, adequate water supplies, cooking and food preparation facilities, a suitable WC, bath or shower and wash basin and adequate drainage


Who can apply?

Applicants must be over 18.

All applicants including joint property owners will be subject to a test of resources that calculates the financial contribution they will be required to make towards the eligible costs of the works required.

You should not assume that you will automatically qualify for a grant, as they are means tested.


How much is the grant?

The maximum assistance available is £25,000.

If the costs of the eligible works are less than the applicant's calculated contribution no grant will be paid. If the cost of the work exceeds the maximum grant payable the applicant must pay the balance.
