Has Queensville (Ampleforth Drive area) ever properly flooded?

My Attorney had a minimum height above sea level wishlist for what he hoped would be his last purchase, for when he last looked.

He now lives up on Totterdown.

A few posts under my belt
Been narrowing down the area search for buying our first home, and Queensville (Ampleforth Drive area) is a good contender.

However, it's obviously very close to the River Penk, and the grassy area to the east always seems to have some flood water on it. Just checked the Environment Agency website, and it shows that an alarming number of houses there are at medium risk of flooding, one of the very few housing areas in Stafford falling under that category.

Prices certainly don't seem too bad for the area, so I'm assuming it's maybe because of the potential flood risk? So can I kindly ask those of you who've seen many a flood over the years here in Stafford, are you aware of any of these homes/roads on this estate ever being flooded since they were built in the 80's/90's?
Now that people have taken it upon themselves to start filling in the floodplain at Pioneer Close area it will almost certainly start flooding in Ampleforth Drive area
