Reducing flood risk is essential for sustainable development. New housing should always be built in the lowest flood-risk areas to protect communities from future disasters. Converting greenfield land into development increases flood risk by reducing natural drainage and increasing surface runoff. Instead, grey belt and brownfield sites should be prioritized, as they offer a safer and more sustainable alternative without damaging farmland or worsening flooding. Protecting green spaces helps manage water flow naturally, reducing the risk of future flooding and ensuring resilient, long-term development.
