RAF Locking sloped down to the Somerset Levels and one area of the camp was prone to flooding - it happened when I was stationed there in 60s.
Then Weston-s-Mare gets a big building programme, domestic & commercial. That of course means lots of concrete, roads and buildings so reducing the area of land that can absorb water and slowly dissipate it.
Could see this happening when we lived in Bristol area on the 00s
