England's new-build flood farce: One in TEN homes constructed over the last seven years are on land at highest risk from rising water levels

[David Icke]: One in ten new homes built in England over the past seven years have been constructed on land at the most risk of flooding, it was revealed last night.

More than 84,000 at-risk properties have been built since 2013, with the number of homes built in these areas annually more than doubling in recent years.

Experts claimed the Government should review housebuilding targets amid claims councils are facing pressure to build more homes despite a lack of suitable sites.

It comes as a rural insurance firm estimated it would pay out £20million in claims for damage caused by Storm Ciara as communities handle the aftermath of Dennis.

Dennis the travel Menace: Brutal storm causes chaos for 50,000 airline passengers with 250 flights grounded, ferries cancelled and misery on the roads and rails

[Daily Mail]: Storm Dennis has caused widespread travel disruption up and down the country as high winds and heavy rainfall sweep the nation.

Amber weather warnings are place from noon today until 3pm tomorrow across Dartmoor and south Devon, most of Wales, the Pennines and large swathes of Yorkshire.

No fewer than 40,000 passengers have been affected by travel disruption so far as budget airline easyJet cancels 234 flights.

Another 60 will not take off tomorrow - affecting a further 10,000 people - as the storm brings 70mph winds and 100mm of rainfall to some areas.

Severe delays were also seen on roads leading to the Port of Dover.

A huge line of lorries stretched back for miles as P&O Ferries confirmed they were 'expecting delays to continue throughout the day due to technical issues and forecasted weather.'

A spokesman for British Airways said: 'The majority of our flights are planned to operate as planned, but, like all airlines flying to and from the UK today, we are experiencing some disruption due to the stormy weather conditions.

'We are merging a small number of Heathrow short-haul flights to the same destination and using larger aircraft where possible to minimise disruption.
