After a long time searching for a new home, we have found a house that ticks all of the boxes. However, following on from our initial research, the house is in a very low risk Flood Zone but surrounded by Flood Zone 2 and 3 due to the local river. The surface water is also low risk. It looks like the high-risk areas are undeveloped fields.
The house is 4 years old and the planning application indicates that the site water management has been built for 100 years + 30% protection. We spoke to a couple of locals who said they do get the flood warnings but don't get actual flooding, however, we are concerned as typically, parts of Tonbridge are prone to flooding.
Any advice please? Here are a couple of screen shots:
