Poster information
Posted on: Monday 16 November 2020
Owners of historic buildings in Bridgend county borough are being urged to sign up for a course about carrying out work on listed buildings.
The online course, which is next scheduled to run on Friday, November 27 and again on Friday, February 5, offers a step-by-step guide to making changes to historic homes.
Participants will be taken through the whole process, including what information needs to be submitted and why, choosing an agent, what goes on behind the scenes once the application is in the hands of the built heritage officer, and what to do once they have been informed of the decision.
The course, which is being run by Carmarthenshire County Council, will be held from 9.30am until 4.30pm. It costs £45 and you can sign up on the Tywi Centre website.
Bridgend county borough has a rich and varied heritage with 373 listed buildings and 16 conservation areas. The conservation and design team has been involved in targeted grant schemes including the Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) programme, which has seen 65 historic buildings repaired and restored in Maesteg, Bridgend and Porthcawl.
More than £4.5m has been awarded in THI grant aid, supporting 38 local businesses and bringing 14 vacant buildings back into use.
