A Note from your clerk – Property Flood Resilience (PFR) grant scheme

26th November 2024 | County Council News

Suffolk County Council have asked that we share this information with those you that were affected during the flooding of Storm Babet last year. 

Flooded property owners can apply for up to £5,000 via the Government’s Flood Recovery Framework to help make their homes and businesses more resilient to future flooding.  Suffolk County Council has  launched PFR Grant application process for properties affected by Storm Babet in October 2023.

Grants are only available to people who suffered internal flood damage to their homes or businesses during Storm Babet (between 19-25 October 2023). They are in addition to grants and Council Tax/Business Rate discounts that may have been received from District Councils. Eligible property owners can apply for up to £5,000 (including VAT) to help make their property more resilient to future flooding. Properties that have already reported flooding via the Highways Reporting Tool and have been determined as eligible for this grant will be contacted directly by letter or email and invited to complete the application process. You have until the end of April 2025 to make an application.
