Property Flood Resilience (PFR) 2024 grant scheme - Grants

All works to be completed by 30 June 2025.

To help make homes and businesses more resilient to future flooding.

The funding is available if as a result of Storm Henk:

• The habitable living or business areas of your property have been damaged by floodwater entering the property, or where drying out and/or repairs to the fabric of the building have been necessary.

If your property wasn't flooded between 2 and 12 January 2024 (Storm Henk), your property is not eligible for the grant.

Properties that have previously received a PFR grant are not eligible for further support except in exceptional cases.

The following buildings are usually not eligible for the scheme:

• Garages
• Outhouses and storage areas
• Second homes
• Empty homes
• Basements or cellars not used as part of the habitable or business area of a property

To fund measures to either keep water from entering a property or reduce the damage water can do once it enters a property.

Grants of up to £5,000 (including VAT) will be paid retrospectively to the property owner, once the council receives proof of the completed installation and invoicing for the approved measures.

For more details, please visit our property flood resilience page where you can find out more about PFR and complete an online expression of interest form.
