Do you have a premises in a Welsh Town Centre?

Do you have vacant upper floors of commercial space in a Welsh town centre? If so, this scheme may help you with some changes.

The Transforming Towns Placemaking Grant provides capital funding for local businesses, social enterprises, and public bodies to enable a broad and flexible programme of support for a wide range of projects that can help to rejuvenate town centres across mid-Wales.

The type of projects can include green infrastructure developments, public realm improvements, installing digital infrastructure in town centres, to internal and external commercial and residential property improvements and much more.

Potential projects will need to satisfy eligibility criteria which will include demonstrating clear links to a current Town Place Plan or Town Centre Strategy. Also, potential projects will need to satisfy the Transforming Towns Placemaking Grant Framework criteria.

One of which is the ‘Residential units in town centres’, this grant is aimed towards converting upper floors within the town centre into self-contained flats. Funding should be considered as a last resort and loans and private funding as a first option. Successful applicants will receive a funding contract from there local authority.

We have specialist advisors which can help with all grant needs and discuss matters further.
