Where development in flood risk areas is considered, national planning policy is clear that it should be safe, resilient and not increase flood risk anywhere. We have been clear that new housing is not appropriate and should not be allowed in a functional floodplain, where water has to flow or be stored in times of flood.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/05/2019 16:42:37 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 117985 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
