Details

The flood and coastal erosion risk management funding policy separates grant funding between:

• existing projects and assets
• new or improved projects and assets

This guidance explains what these terms mean. It sets out how risk management authorities (RMAs) can determine whether their planned asset management activities or FCERM measures are eligible for capital grant-in-aid (GiA) under the funding policy.
