Local authorities in England gave permission for 13 major developments to go ahead during 2006/07 against EA advice on flood risk. The developments included bungalows, houses, a caravan site, and access roads. Latest figures show that in cases where EA objected on flood risk grounds and where local authorities had advised of the final outcome, 96% were in line with EA advice - up 1% on the pervious year.
