Future Coast North Swanage - part of the Coastal transition accelerator programme

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.
