Their argument was that they were preventing flooding the village by flooding our ground. I fully accept that flooding farmland, however inconvenient to the occupier, is preferable to flooding the homes of many families, but it cannot be fair that IDBs and The EA are allowed to neglect their responsibilities especially whilst charging drainage rates to the unfortunate land holder.Here an IDB has a legal obligation to prevent flooding as far as reasonably practical as I understand it.
