Flood Risk Context

The property is situated in an area that the Environment Agency identifies as having a long-term flood risk. The original flood modelling was carried out when the brook running through the area was an open ditch across a meadow, prior to the construction of Brooklea. At that time, surface water runoff may have been less controlled.

Since then, several significant mitigation measures have been implemented:

- The brook has been culverted and is currently undergoing further improvements upstream
- The development of Brooklea introduced a Sustainable Drainage System (suds), which manages surface water and controls discharge rates
- The local council has upgraded drainage infrastructure in recent years, enlarging drain entry points and pipes in the road opposite the cottages to prevent surface water build-up
- Additionally, residents in the village are proactive in keeping the drains clear of debris
The current ea data may not highlight or reflect these improvements. The current owners have lived at the property for four years and report that, even during periods of very heavy rainfall, there have been no issues with flooding.
