This guide explains how households and businesses affected by the flooding during winter 2013 to 2014 can apply for a repair and renew grant of up to £5,000. This grant would top up any money received from insurers and make sure flood resilience is built into repairs.
The scheme was announced on 1 April 2014.
1. Where to apply
You should apply to your local authority for grants under this scheme.
2. Eligibility for flood recovery funding
Your property or business is likely to be eligible if it has been flooded between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014.
The grants which are available are intended only to fund measures which improve the property’s resilience or resistance to flooding, beyond repairs that would normally be covered by insurance.
