[Top Down]

Same in our area. Existing houses already on the edge of a flood plain but not previously flooded were recently. Owners had objected to 130 new houses being built ON the flood plain as it would mean their houses were more likely to be flooded. Local planners overruled objections.  

As feared, existing and new houses were all flooded. 

Pre-existing home owners are now taking a class action against the council.
