Ok, not DIY, but it's the sort of thing some people here will have knowledge about. given the increasing in flooding we've seen, and predictions for increased frequency in the future, this seems to be something to take seriously. Esp. as I suspect it's something insurance co.'s now have a 'thing' about.
There is a good possibility that we may be moving from Leeds to the Cambridge/Huntingdon area this year, depending on how SWMBO's new job hunting goes.
We've been on the web of course having a look at potential houses, now of course being where it is, quite a lot of those are on the Fens (We are looking for a country property). On the face of it potentially, an area prone to flooding, however, in the recent floods, it's somewhere that I remember having a lot of problems, presumably, because of the nature of the place, the drainage etc. systems are already in place to deal with it -to an extent anyway.
so I've been trying to find some info on this, but haven't found much really helpful.
The environment agency does have maps with flooding risks, but the current ones take no account of flood defences etc., so of course the fens are all coloured blue as a flood risk, not very helpful.
anyone have knowledge of this, or can point me to source of info?
