    I've spent the last few weeks poring over councils' planning papers and flood maps for this investigation. @JSandlerClarke and I have identified thousands of homes set to be built in high-risk flood zones across England.https://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2019/11/15/flooding-uk-boris-johnson-sheffield-yorkshire/ …

        Proposed developments include a "new town" less than 2 miles from the village of Fishlake near Doncaster, which has been hit especially hard by recent floods. Boris Johnson was in Stainforth this week, which neighbours Fishlake and the proposed schemehttps://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2019/11/15/flooding-uk-boris-johnson-sheffield-yorkshire/ …

        The story has interactive maps of some of the major towns and cities we looked at, courtesy of @georgiefjohnson. The one for Doncaster is below. You can see Fishlake in the top right, near the big cluster of proposed developments.pic.twitter.com/9c21qSVzw6

        You can build homes in flood zones safely way but we obtained figures showing that last year, in almost half the cases where the EA objected to new developments, local authorities didn't tell them whether they'd gone along with their recommendationshttps://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2019/11/15/flooding-uk-boris-johnson-sheffield-yorkshire/ …

        It’s not just that the new homes on flood plains are at risk of flooding but that by building on the flood plains it puts existing homes nearby at new and increased risk of flooding.

        I wish this would distinguish between cases where development imposes flood risk on existing residents and merely cases where new residents are at risk of flood damage. The former is a serious problem, the latter isn't provided new developments aren't entitled to subsidy.
