New Lincolnshire County Council Grant Funding Scheme for Property Flood Resilience (PFR)
Good news for residents! The Property Flood Resilience team at Lincolnshire County Council has commenced a new PFR grant funding scheme . It’s now easier for Homeowners to access up to £5,000 of funding support to help protect their homes from future flooding.
Here's what you need to know about the new Lincolnshire County Council PFR Grant Funding Scheme:
- Invitation-Only Process: This program is for residential properties that have been recently identified by Lincolnshire County Council as previously suffering internal flooding. The team is sending out invitations in phases:
- Phase 1 invitations were sent at the end of March 2025 (all invitations now sent).
- Phase 2 invitations will be sent in the coming weeks.
- Phase 3 will follow later this year.
- First-Come, First-Served: The grant funding is processed on a first-come, first-served basis and we encourage Homeowners to apply as soon as they receive their invitation.
- Upfront Payment: To help with initial costs and following approval of an application form stating the proposed PFR work, Lincolnshire County Council will provide an upfront payment of up to £2,500 to use on installing PFR measures. Where total PFR installation costs exceed £2,500, the remaining balance (up to an additional £2,500) will be paid once the work has been completed and approved by the Council.
- No Mandatory Flood Risk Assessment: Whilst Homeowners are advised to engage a professional flood risk surveyor to undertake a Flood Hazard Assessment and Property Survey, to determine the most appropriate PFR measures required, this isn’t a mandatory requirement of the new scheme
If your home has been internally flooded and you’re interested in receiving PFR grant funding, but you haven't received an invitation, please contact the Property Flood Resilience team at [email protected] to confirm your flooding history and to request an application form.
