Water, Water, Everywhere.

[dave the builder]

So we're all in agreement 
It's those greedy loathsome  Builders
I bet they live in a bunker ,HIGH up on the top of a hill ,with ZERO chance of flooding 

That sounds like a confession... Do you require a priest?

Plausible deniability 

Are you saying if I give all my ill gotten gains to the church and say sorry hat all will be well with the world 

newsflash !
the church is corrupt 
by the time builders pay all the back handers to councils  etc they end up poor ,
And probaably have to drive round in 20+ year old Vauxhalls   

[Sir Tigger KC]

There's a new housing development built by Bovis down the road in Seaton, Devon where they built on the floodplain of the River Axe, however before they started building they brought in tonnes and tonnes of sand to raise the ground up.

A friend bought a new house there right on the edge with lovely views over the fields and the river, and her house is probably ten feet above the ajoining field and the development doesn't flood. 

I bet the fields further upstream flood a lot more than they used too though, especially at high tides.
