Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Thames Gateway.
Thames Gateway
The hon. Gentleman is one of those great avuncular Members of the House to whom I enjoy listening. Is he aware that flood risk assessments for planning applications are adding thousands of pounds to the costs experienced by people who wish to build houses? For example, although Canvey Island is protected from floods by a massive and sound sea defence, developers must add thousands of pounds on to the cost of houses due to the flood risk assessment, which is simply a waste of money.
