Future Flood Prevention

Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2017. It occurred during Estimates day on Future Flood Prevention.

A lot of house building is going on in Whalley in my constituency, and one of the conditions was that tanks should be put in before the houses were built. Sadly, the houses seem to be being built and occupied before the tanks have been put in. Does my hon. Friend agree that developers need to take planning conditions seriously and abide by the rules and regulations set down by the local authorities, because of the misery that flooding can cause if they do not get these things right?
