Dr Ben Spencer

Conservative — Runnymede and Weybridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 July 2024

Debate

Planning, the Green Belt and Rural Affairs

Contribution

My constituency has vast swathes of high-risk flood area—zones 2 and 3—and we see flooding every year; we saw it most notably in 2014, but also in January. Will the right hon. Lady’s planning reforms protect areas at high risk of flooding, so that they are not built on, making our flooding worse?
