Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and Environment Agency are reforming flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM) strategy to better account for non-monetised benefits and long-term coastal change risks in funding and planning decisions. Current policy relies on narrow benefit assessments that overlook wider impacts on coastal communities, and Shoreline Management Plans are not consistently integrated with Local Plans. The government intends to incorporate broader benefits into the 2026 prioritisation process and establish a national strategy for coastal property assistance by March 2027.
