Abstract

One of the aims of Agri-Environment Schemes is to protect the historic environment for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations. This encompasses both archaeological sites and monuments and traditional farm buildings (TFBs). The aim of the historic building restoration grant pilot (HBRGP) scheme was to bring life back to TFBs within five upland National Parks: Dartmoor, Lake District, Northumberland Peak District and Yorkshire Dales. The standalone capital grant scheme within Countryside Stewardship (CS) was a one-off pilot, with only one application round, to ascertain the demand for such a scheme and to trial the collaborative working model. The purpose of the grant scheme was to fund TFB restorations that would enhance cultural heritage features, landscape character, wildlife and public engagement with the environment. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the full impact of the HBRGP scheme including landscape, environmental and economic deliverables.
