Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether properties that have received Coastal Adaptation Pilots funding for purposes other than demolition are ineligible for the Coastal Erosion Assistance Grant.

The Coastal Erosion Assistance Grant provides up to £10,000 per property for the demolition of homes at greatest risk from coastal erosion. Properties must meet the eligibility criteria published on GOV.UK. Under those criteria, properties receiving Coastal Adaptation Pilots funding are not eligible for the grant.
