My observation is a general one, although I give a specific example. The observation is that building on flood plains is NOT being avoided. The latest example is the warehousing nearing completion on the field at the north-east of the J20 roundabout on M1. In the 31 years that I have lived in Lutterworth I have seen this field, hitherto farmland, flooded by the River Swift on a number of occasions.
