They would probably wash away however. Floods are not benign, they often
contain debris and are fast running.

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

Ramps, or simply say that disabled people should not visit or live there.

Having built a house, and landscaped a garden, moving earth around is not
that big a deal

you could make a huge lake and use the spoil to build berms and pop the
houses on top.
