Consultation on Coastal Change Policy
This consultation sets out our ideas for how coastal communities can successfully adapt to the impacts of coastal change, and Government’s role in supporting this.
The consultation also provides details of a new coastal change pathfinder programme that we are intending to establish. Bids are invited from coastal local authorities interested in becoming coastal change pathfinders. Pathfinders would be able to explore some of the ideas and approaches set out in the consultation. A new coastal change fund of up to £11 million is available to support their work.
We are also asking for views on a proposed approach to enabling local authorities to provide practical assistance to home owners experiencing complete loss of a home as a result of coastal erosion.
The closing date for this consultation is 25 September 2009.
