  The daft thing about some areas in or around villages is that you cannot sensibly infill between two properties without a planning fight even when there are no local objections. Half a dozen houses on green belt would have few problems but it is usually a field that a builder wants to cover with loads of his little boxes.
  
  It is not so much the housing itself that is the problem it is all the tarmac that accompanies them plus the lack of provision for any surplus surface water to escape safely.
  
  Where a river is routinely prone to flooding surely one answer would be to have several large landscaped pits of some kind along the route that could act as a reservoir in dry periods. I suppose then the must not change the countryside brigade would then complain.
