Yes, it looks uninsurable. There are additional questions – unanswered by the developer – about dangers to structural stability and the desirability of allowing millions of gallons of water to flood the foundations of a high-rise building.

And then there is the question of water contamination. If (when) it all floods, water entering the car park will become contaminated by oil and particulate residues – all of which will eventually end up back in the River Brent. A huge amount of accumulated filth.

Plus, I quite liked this bit (in the planning application): “Internal doors… will be watertight flood gates and will be closed on reception of a flood warning from the EA.”

Let’s hope they check no one’s still down there when they lock the doors.
