Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 January 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Flooding (South Ribble).


Flooding (South Ribble)

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that when the local authority receives planning applications, particularly in respect of areas of land that are known to flood regularly, the onus should be on it to place proper responsibility on the developer to ensure adequate drainage? The last thing people want is to buy a brand new house and experience flooding the first time there is heavy rain.
