Defra should commit to reviewing the current 2009 property purchase qualifying date and value of the Coastal Erosion Assistance Grant (CEAG) and, by June 2026, launch a structured assessment of whether this threshold and available grant remain justified. This review should examine evidence on historic and ongoing shortcomings in coastalerosion risk communication, alongside updated projections of climatedriven changes in erosion rates and associated property exposure, and true costs of demolition. Defra should publish revised, evidence based eligibility criteria and an increased grant value by December 2026 together with the analysis that led to those revised figures and dates. The updated criteria and grant value should be implemented no later than April 2027. (Recommendation, Paragraph 24)
