We are consulting on flood and coastal erosion funding rules and are calling for evidence on alternative sources of funding and devolution opportunities.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk

Detail

We want your views on our proposals for changing the way flood and coastal erosion projects are funded.

We are proposing to stop using the current funding formula entirely and replace it with a simple 2-step process. We would like to mainstream investment in natural flood management and make better use of property flood resilience measures. Most projects in delivery from April 2026 will use the new funding rules.

We are also calling for evidence on 2 wider areas:

how we can secure more funding contributions
how English devolution could support flood risk management in England
