The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what guidance the Environment Agency has issued on the evaluation of Coastal Adaptation Pilot programmes, including the metrics used to assess feasibility, value for money and long-term suitability; and whether that guidance will be published.

Answered by Emma Hardy

The Environment Agency has published applicant guidance for the Expression of Interest (EOI) stage of the Coastal Adaptation Pilots (CAPs). This sets out the monitoring and evaluation requirements for proposals, including information on assessing feasibility, value for money and long-term suitability. The deadline for EOI applications is 30 June 2026. Further guidance on CAPs EOIs can be found on GOV.UK.
