If they’re going to build on flood plains…

If they’re going to build on flood plains why not build the houses on stilts?

I’m sure that someone could work out a way of building affordable housing complexes with a minimum of ground concrete (why make things worse?) that could be livable in during the occasional British flood. Once they’d safeguarded the water supplies, sewage and power supplies and provided residents with small boats, a village with its buildings on stilts could be a desirable place to live.

Alternatively, how about floating houses?
