Key Information About Eligibility Expand The traditional farm building will need to be highly visible from a public road, right of way or open access land. We are keen to conserve buildings which help us reveal the history of farming and farm buildings in the Westmorland Dales. This could be anything from inclusion in a leaflet, an interpretative panel, or some level of public access They building will need to have some proposed function, for example an agricultural use or some level of accessibility for interpretation/education etc. In order for a building to be eligible under this scheme, the works required must go beyond simple ‘maintenance’. However, we only have a limited budget, and therefore major structural works or significant rebuilding will also be beyond the scope of this scheme. The building must be located within the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Scheme area.
