<p>In considering the National Infrastructure Commission’s (NIC) study into surface
water flooding, Defra officials met with the Association of Directors of Environment,
Economy, Planning and Transport’s (ADEPT) Flood and Water Group. This group is predominately
made up of lead local flood authorities and the Local Government Association. At the
meeting there was a discussion about the NIC’s study and nine recommendations, and
the different views on them. The ADEPT Flood and Water Group also wrote to Defra after
the meeting. Defra took these views into account when producing the Government response
and accepting or partially accepting all of the NIC’s recommendations.</p>
