Would you build a house in a Fishlake? It is good to see the overhead cables well above flood level, but some ground located sub-stations could be at risk from flooding.
One assumes that the housing deveolpers do their homework and look at the natural drainage.
One might assume that, but there was a new development built in Horsham a few years ago that was promptly affected by floodwater and two of the houses were submerged. Did the developers pay for the rectification....well, they had to, because they hadn't sold those two houses at the time. (note - I heard this second hand through a colleague who lived nearby so it is not first hand information, but I have no reason to doubt it.)
