While it makes sense from a flood point of view, it does rather cause a
problem with the level access requirements of Part M.

Would it not be sensible to corrugate the land before building on it, so there are low lying areas for roads & high ridges for houses?
And then if necessary do as newshound describes.
It's part M that's causing the problem, and a lack of requirement to sort the land levels before building.
Another possibility is to build medium rise, only the bottom floor is then vulnerable, the rest aren't.
