HC Deb 24 November 2000 vol 357 c332W
Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will review Gloucestershire County Council's Structure Plan's allocation of house building numbers to Tewkesbury, following the floods in that area; and if he will make a statement.[140023]

Ms Beverley Hughes

No. Both the Gloucestershire Structure Plan, adopted by Gloucestershire County Council in November 1999, and the draft Tewkesbury Local Plan, deposited by Tewkesbury Borough Council in November 1998, contain policies restricting development in areas at direct risk of flooding or where it would increase the risk of flooding.
