Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) on Tuesday, 8 December 2009 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Local Housing Development
- Question
- What recent representations he has received from district councils on the effect of planning policy statement 25 on local housing development.
- Answer
-
No recent representations of this nature have been received by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State. The tragic events of the past few weeks underline the importance of reducing flood risk to new development. Planning policy statement 25 provides a robust policy framework for local planning authorities to avoid, manage and reduce flood risk to new development, as endorsed by Sir Michael Pitt in his review of the lessons learned from the 2007 floods published last year.
