Flood risk

Rivers, the sea or surface water: in this postcode, 3 addresses are in areas at high risk, 0 at medium risk and 19 at low risk. Each address counts once, at the higher of its rivers-and-sea and surface-water risk.

Rivers and the sea alone: of the 17 homes the Environment Agency counts, 4 are in areas at high risk, 0 medium, 13 low and 0 very low.

High: 3.3% (1 in 30) or more chance of flooding a year. Medium: 1% to 3.3%. Low: 0.1% to 1%. Very low: under 0.1%. The rivers and sea figures allow for flood defences. Counts cover whole postcodes, which can include other streets.
