Flood and Coastal Defence Project Appraisal Guidance

Abstract

Provides advice to operating authorities on the incorporation of social equity considerations in flood and coastal defence appraisals through the use of Distributional Impacts (DI). Proposals might have differential impacts in individuals, amongst other aspects, according to their income. For Flood and Coastal Defence Schemes DI considers the distribution of the costs or benefits of interventions across different income groups and social class.
