    Good post Ed. Its true people are ignoring flood plains all over but I suppose in some ways you cant blame them. Here in Dover we have a ridiculous situation where a built up town wants a hospital within the already built up area, and we suddenly have the floodplain agenda dropped into the middle of progress. Heavens if its alright for Morrisons and Asda to build on this floodplain why not a hospital. As its a small hospital of the cottage variety I cant envisage a floor area larger than the proposed Asda. So I just dont get it.

    Yes even if we acknowledge that it is a floodplain, it could be possible to have a building designed for purpose with elevations to its base to raise it above any potential flood issue, in other words ...put it on stilts! There are imaginative architects out there who would relish the challenge.
