Those flood risk assessments were carried out using a flood risk model that has not yet been approved by the Enviroment Agency. In fact at the time of writing it hadn't even been submitted for review. Until such time in the future that it is then most companies, especially insurance companies and companies that would stand to lose the most like, say, a large supermarket, will refer to a flood risk consultant that uses an approved method. This is what Tesco did and under this method Wheldon Road is still within the flood risk area. As it clearly states in the full article the flood defence scheme is not yet fully functional so cannot yet be taken into account. If this was happening further down the line and the unproven method used was adopted by the EA then things would probably be different but with time being of the essence then it leaves WR with a problem. Why the council chose this company is a totally different question that you would have to ask of them but I would imagine cost had something to do with it.

Indeed.

Some may say an uninterupted supply of scarce fuel to provide electricity is just as important.
