Following flooding in the east of Send Marsh in 2000, when 16 properties were flooded to a depth of 1m, causing £600,000 of damage, a five-month Environment Agency (EA) scheme costing £400,000 began in February 2007 to reduce the risk from the East Clandon stream.
The stream was diverted in the 1870s for brick-making and could revert to its original course when flooded.
Demonstrated by the relatively few properties affected, almost all built-up areas in the parish are not subject to flood risk according to EA data.
