A big thankyou to local walkers who have been busy snapping some of the effects of flooding down at Park Farm, amongst other places. It seems difficult to credit that the Environment Agency is continuing to lend its approval to housing development on this site.
At one point, the pressure of water on the existing sewage system was forcing raw sewage out onto the fields and footpaths.
Many house owners across the country are now finding problems obtaining house insurance, as insurers either refuse to offer cover to known flood-risk properties, or offer at exorbitent premiums.
Is this the fate that will await purchasers of Barratts soon-to-be-built Park Farm Flood Plain properties?

As the icecaps melt more coastal areas will surrender it's shores to the ocean.
ReplyDeleteNot just the people who buy houses built on a flood plain, if Barratts do not deal with the flood problem adequately and the Park Farm Developments has any severe flooding issues then anyone with a BS35 postcode will all likely be caught with an increase of premium no matter how flood proof your home is - Insurance companies deal in areas not with individual houses.
