The Government has been clear that all local planning authorities are expected to follow the strict tests set out in the National Planning Policy Framework to protect people and property from flooding. The Framework is clear that inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk. Where development is necessary in a flood risk area, it must be demonstrated that it will be safe, without increasing flood risk elsewhere, and be appropriately flood resilient and resistant. We are clear in our planning guidance supporting the Framework that where these tests are not met, new development should not be allowed.<\/p>

Local planning authorities have a wide range of powers to tackle breaches of planning control. Failure to comply with a planning condition would normally be dealt with by serving a breach of condition notice, or an enforcement notice requiring the recipient to remedy the breach. The penalty for failing to comply with a breach of condition notice is a fine of up to £2,500 on summary conviction. For failure to comply with an enforcement notice, it is an unlimited fine.

Statistics on the private rental market in England, Merseyside (Metropolitan County) and in each local authority district including St. Helens, are published by the Valuation Office Agency and are available at the following link:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/private-rental-market-summary-statistics-october-2015-to-september-2016<\/a><\/p>

The Valuation Office Agency advises that because the composition of this sample changes over time, it is not possible to compare median rents provided in this publication with statistics in previous publications to infer trends in the rental market over time. The statistics therefore provide a snapshot that shows the range of rents across England.<\/p>

The official source on change over time in cost of renting in Great Britain is the Office for National Statistics Index of Private Housing Rental Prices available at the following link:<\/p>
