Building Homes on Flood Plains
March 31st, 2007 by JoeThe local brewery, won’t name them here, are proposing to build a more modern brewery on the site of their old soft drinks complex.
This will free up land where their current brewery is. Using this land, and the adjacent unused land, they intend to build 200 houses.
All very nice, but the adjacent unused land is unused for a reason. It’s a flood plain! Each winter, every time it rains heavy the land gets covered in 3 feet of river water.
I thought the government had stopped the building of homes on flood plains, if they haven’t they ought to!
