It's stating the blindingly obvious, and the point that the opener, Leanne Wood made—you shouldn't be building on floodplains, to be honest with you. Floodplains should be used for the very purpose that they've been designated, which is to help with the catchment of water, not to build houses on. Planning is a wholly devolved responsibility; it is something that we just shouldn't be allowing to happen. And I very much hope that the Minister will give special regard to that because that is something that is within the gift of Welsh Government and can be stopped tomorrow. Thank you.
