Well, to me the main culprits are not the house occupiers who no doubt

Given the long term nature of housing and short term nature of some
building companies, I would say much of the onus goes on the local
authority for allowing house building on known flood planes rather than
alternative, even green field, sites.


Most of these flood plains are green field sites which is why developers
like them.

We should assume builders and architects will build wherever they can to
make a profit.
