Description

The Authority is the UK Government Department responsible for the environment, food and farming and rural affairs. The Authority's priorities are to secure a healthy natural environment; a sustainable, low-carbon economy; a thriving farming sector and a sustainable, healthy and secure food supply. Further information on the Authority can be found at: Defra.

Property Flood Resilience (PFR) is currently delivered through the PFR repair scheme, and Grant in Aid (GiA). The PFR elements of the GiA were informally evaluated at the end of 2013/14 and 2015/16. However, the PFR repair scheme has not been subject to an evaluation since its inception in 2013, leading to a knowledge gap as to its effectiveness. This project will evaluate how the PFR repair scheme's delivery process has worked and the impact this has had in areas affected by flooding. This evaluation will generate evidence to inform the delivery and targeting of the scheme.
