Following heavy rainfall in many parts of the UK, the Environment Agency’s Sir James Bevan has warned against building new homes on flood plains.
Joining many recent calls for reevaluate the building of new homes on land susceptible to flooding, Bevan will use a speech at the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit in central London to say new housing should only be allowed if they are resilient to flooding.
Discussing the ongoing effects of Storms Ciara and Dennis with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the head of the Environment Agency called for a conversation about the sustainability of vulnerable communities and their protection in the long term.
The organisation has raised concerns before about building homes on flood plains, and Bevan is reinforcing that message, acknowledging that it is not realistic to ban all development in these areas - because they cover so much of the country, but suggesting that homes should only be built on this type of land if ‘there is no real alternative’ - and only if they are designed to be more resilient to flooding.
There are 112 flood warnings still in place, including two severe warnings for the River Severn at Shrewsbury and Ironbridge.
