The Flood Recovery Framework 

In a severe weather event with significant impacts across a wide area, local authorities may need central support to help their communities and businesses return to normal. It will be for ministers to determine when this support is made available and what the eligibility criteria are. To find out more about the Flood Recovery Framework and see examples of funding available in the past visit Flood recovery framework: guidance for local authorities in England - GOV.UK.  

If activated, flood recovery funding will be administered by your local council. If you think you might be eligible you should contact them directly.  

The Flood Hub’s Flood Recovery Advice for Farmers and Landowners provides comprehensive information for farmers affected by flooding.  

Agri-Environment Schemes 

Flooding may impact land in agri-environment schemes such as the Sustainable Farming Initiative (SFI) and Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier (CSHT). Visit the Rural Payment Agency’s extreme weather guidance if you’re worried about the impact of flooding on existing agreements.  

If you have concerns about the impact of flooding on land in an England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) scheme you should contact the Forestry Commission.
