They build on flood plains because builders are greedy, planning authorities are stupid and house buyers want houses to be cheaper and then moan when they are flooded.
I am not being insensitive to those poor folk whose houses have been flooded but they did know the risk when they bought their homes. You can build all the flood defences you want but every few years/decades we get freaky weather which is what is happening at the moment. The jet stream that gives us our out of characteristic usual weather for how north we are has shifted and dumped a shed load of rain on us.
