DEFRA Funding Reform
DEFRA has launched a consultation on Reforming our approach to floods funding(External link), which outlines a new Floods Investment Framework set to take effect from April 2026. Based on current guidance, the Chesil Cove Curved Seawall will fall under this new framework, though the final funding rules are yet to be published. We’re currently assessing how these changes may affect the development and delivery of the scheme.
The OBC for Chesil Cove Curved Seawall is being taken to Dorset Council Cabinet in early March 2026. Only after this is approved can any further steps be undertaken in the process.
