Flood risk
No address in this postcode is in an area at high, medium or low risk of flooding from rivers, the sea or surface water. The rest are in areas at very low risk: less than a 0.1% (1 in 1,000) chance a year.
Rivers and the sea alone: no home is in an area at risk.
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.
Flood zone for planning: no postcode centre is in flood zone 2 or 3.
Recorded floods
No recorded flood covers the centre of this postcode.
Recorded floods are where floodwater was seen or surveyed after a flood. Many floods were never mapped, an outline over a postcode's centre does not mean every home in it flooded, and homes outside one may have. Ask the seller whether the home itself has flooded.
Coastal erosion
No projected coastal erosion zone is within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode.
Storm overflows
10 storm overflows within 1 km (0.6 miles) of the postcode spilled 150 times, for 700 hours in all, in 2025. They discharge into River Calder, Black Brook, Calder and Tribs, Holywell Brook.
| Overflow | Into | Spills | Hours | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Vale Yorkshire Water | River Calder | 0 | 0 | 290 m |
| West Vale Yorkshire Water | River Calder | 21 | 59 | 290 m |
| Brow Bridge Cso Yorkshire Water | Black Brook | 8 | 7 | 490 m (0.3 miles) |

| Rochdale Road Cso Yorkshire Water | Black Brook | 1 | 0 | 510 m (0.3 miles) |

| Yws Unknown Sites Default Yorkshire Water | Calder and Tribs | 4 | 1 | 550 m (0.3 miles) |
A storm overflow lets sewage diluted with rainwater into a river, stream or the sea when heavy rain overwhelms the sewers, so the spills here affect the water they run into, not homes. A spill is counted the regulators' way: a first 12 hours, then each 24 hours it goes on.
Coal mining
This postcode is in a coalfield, in a low risk area: coal was mined in the area, but no workings shallow enough to matter for building are recorded.
Conveyancers usually still order a coal mining search (CON29M) for a home in a coalfield.
Radon
The postcode is in a 1 km square with radon potential up to 3 to 5%: up to that share of homes there is estimated to be at or above the Action Level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. At least part of the square is a radon Affected Area, where 1% or more of homes are.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas from the ground that can build up indoors; long exposure raises the risk of lung cancer. A three-month test with two small detectors is the only way to know a home's level, and a high level can usually be brought down with a sump or better ventilation. Homes built here in recent decades should have radon protection under the building regulations (basic protection from 3%, full protection from 10%). UKHSA sells a radon report for a single address from its detailed map at ukradon.org.
Gas and electricity use
Homes with gas used 19,085 kWh of it on average in 2024, 66% more than the district's 11,497 kWh, and 4,652 kWh of electricity, 41% more than the district's 3,294 kWh. There are gas meters for about 87% of the homes.
These are all the homes on the postcode, whatever their size and however many live in them, so they show the kind of homes and heating here rather than what any one home uses. The typical figure is the median: half the homes used less. The district is HX5.
Historic landfill
1 historic landfill site is within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the postcode, the nearest 380 m away.
| Site | Waste went in | Waste | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Woodside Lock West Vale, Halifax, West Yorkshire | Not recorded | Not recorded | 380 m |
Closed tips can give off gas (methane and carbon dioxide) and leak into the ground for years. An environmental search, which conveyancers usually order, looks at landfill and contaminated land around the home; the council keeps a register of land it has found to be contaminated.
Height above sea level
The postcode's 36 addresses are between 119 m and 139 m above sea level (133 m on average).
Broadband
Superfast 100%, ultrafast 96%, gigabit 96% of premises; 0% cannot get 10 Mbit/s. Ofcom Connected Nations, data as at January 2026.
