Actually, if you go to Google Earth Pro you will find that the area that has been/is being developed in Chitty Chatty has been pasture land going back as far as March 1994. The woodlands to the east and south are considered wetlands and are designated as a preserve in the land use permits.

The only thing close to "swamp" in the areas that have been developed in the last 6 years is the Hog Eye Sink area, which has been preserved.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
