The new employment units are in a very deep hole, well below river level. However, that side of the former South Malling brookland does now have flood protection, new since 2000, so should not, in theory, flood next time. Whether or not new units are built there. The insurance companies appear to believe this, which is perhaps the key thing. No one sensible will open a business without insurance cover.
As you say, the water has to go somewhere. If the Phoenix area gets protected too, bad news for Landport & Monks Way & Friars Walk and the other unprotected "cells".
