In the next 25 years the Environmental Agency reckons up to 1 in 4 homes (a rise from 6.3m to 8m homes) will be liable to flooding (from rivers, sea or surface water) due to climate change.

Well, of course you could limit that by stop building on flood plains (which they're still doing round here) or by making estates better able to deal with flooding... less hardscaping etc.

But, what we *will* see is both more costly insurance & cover withdrawal!
