That this House notes with concern that 27.3 per cent. of local planning authorities have, in the last four years, approved planning permission for development in spite of an Environment Agency flood risk objection; and calls on the Government to impose tighter controls on development in flood risk areas to defend against the predicted increasing risks and costs of flooding.
