Charmouth and North Swanage have been selected for funding through the Coastal Transition Accelerator Programme (CTAP), supported by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and funded by the Environment Agency (EA).

Coastal change is a nationwide challenge, but Charmouth and North Swanage are uniquely positioned to get a head start. Future Coast Dorset will help these communities manage their changing coasts and become more resilient. With £3 million in funding, the project will enhance infrastructure, improve beach access, develop and improve awareness of coastal risk and create plans for the future.

This initiative is a significant step towards a resilient and thriving coastline for future generations.






The Coastal Transition Accelerator Programme supports the Environment Agency’s FCERM Strategy, which provides a longer-term vision of how we will better protect and prepare homes and businesses from flooding and coastal change and create climate resilient places.

  • Future Coast Charmouth Survey 2025

    We would like to hear your views, comments, and concerns regarding how this project can deliver on a range of options to help Charmouth communities adapt to coastal change.

    Round 1 engagement, which ran from May to July 2024, collected views from the public and stakeholders on developing a list of options as part of an Outline Business Case. The Outline Business Case was approved in November 2024, allowing the programme to begin.

    For Round 2, the team are now keen to hear from you on your views on coastal issues where you live and how the programme can help the Charmouth community prepare and plan for coastal change.

    Please share your views by  completing this survey.

    This survey has been extended and will now close on Sunday 13th July.

    Thank you for your participation!
